Title: Funny Rejections
Post by: bobkeenan on October 14, 2009, 18:22

I just had a bunch of photos rejected at Bigstock.  Funny thing though..... the same photos got accepted at shutterstock and are already generating sales ????

And didn't Shutterstock just buy bigstock???

I wonder if they are cross referencing photos and not accepting at one if another has it???

I don't think so, I have had most of the same photos accepted.  BigStock used to accept nearly all the images I uploaded but the last few months they are rejecting more and the reviews have become inconsistent.

I am still having very few rejections there, less than 10%.

Haven't had a photo rejected there since August 31 with 112 images approved since then.

Even if you have the same username in Bigstock and Shutter I don't think they have a possibility to compare information on your portfolio on both sites. Pay attention they are not usually good in rejection duplicates even in the measures of one portfolio...

"Buying" of the company usually means they have the same name at the line of CEO but doesn't mean the same database, inspectors and politics of acceptance.

That's how I understood it, too. For now, I think they are still two separate companies.
