I'm about to submit some pictures of various landmarks and famous places in Tokyo, like Sky Tree, Tokyo Tower, etc. I looked on Shutterstock for the same kind of pictures and I noticed that some people submit them as editorial while others submit them as normal pictures. There are pictures of the same places, so I'm really confused. Should they by submitted as editorial or not?
And I have the same question about cityscapes. There are various logos on the buildings if you zoom in. Should I submit cityscapes as editorial or if they contain logos I'm not allowed to submit them at all?
-
Editorial.... even if you remove the logos some buildings are copyrighted.
-
How can I find out if a building is copyrighted or not? For example, I don't even know what to do about my images with japanese temples.
This is really confusing. SS says they accept pictures of Skytree ONLY as editorial, so it is a copyrighted building right? And then Fotolia is full of Skytree images, being sold as normal pictures.
I feel like hitting my head against something, but I'm not sure it will help. Someone, please help me understand...

Email Shutterstock and ask them what they want. I submitted an image of Samuel Becket bridge and was rejected for trademark. I submitted it as editorial, it was accepted. Then I did a search and found many images of the bridge as commercial. I emailed SS and they told me to resubmit mine as commercial image.
