Dubious Email From Deposit Photo...
Shelma1:
I'm always suspicious of emails that have poor spelling and grammar. And offers that seem too good to be true. Would it have cost less for someone to license the image through DP than Adobe?
Zalee:
Aren't they just asking that you upload it to DP though?
Hannafate:
It's a trap!
Who is the "big European client"? You would need that information to make a decision, and they aren't providing it.
Probably the aim is to get your payment information as part of the deal. I bet they say they want to deposit your money directly into your bank, rather than go through Paypal or another party.
Chichikov:
Why don't you contact Depositphotos directly here:

The name who sent the email sounds Eastern European / Russian, and DP is a Russian owned site. I wouldnt be surprised that they do not write in perfect English.
Even more, nothing bad can happen from uploading a photo to DP. The worst thing that can happen is that the deal falls through and he doesnt sell the image.
Its not like they are asking him for his bank account etc.
DP are eager to get this deal done, because they will make 1200 euro/dollar, hence they contact the photographer.
