Title: Sites accepting unidentifiable people
Post by: Freedom on December 19, 2008, 14:46

Are there still any sites accepting unidentifiable people or body parts as RF photos? Thanks.

I just had one accepted from Washington DC with people walking on the Mall, they were far away and their back was facing the camera so you couldn't tell much about them at all.  Dreamstime has rejected a few (every one actually) of my images when I added a model release to it if the image had only an arm or hand in it, I'm confused about that I would think a model release even when not 100% necessary would still be good.

All of them, but don't mess with heads, even from back it's unacceptable

I've had a few of those as well - a rejection for "Model Release not required" doesn't make sense to me either.

As far as sites that allow images that show people but without a MR is concerned, they all accept them even though oftentimes it's at the whim of the reviewer.

It really annoys me when they reject for that reason. If they don't want the MR attatched then it would be enough to just de-attatch it not reject the image which messes around with our acceptance ratios.
