Hello
I'm having a hard time uploading my photos to the Stocksy site, there are 2 or 3 that pass and then it crashes. I don't see any ftp server available.
Does anyone have the same problem?
Thank you

I have all my images uploaded and all are now showing an orange spot (minimum requirement for adding to queue). Is there a way to add all the images to the submission queue with one move or do I have to add each image singly? Thanks.

Tried to upload 90+ but only 50 got through first time. Went back to check the size and a few were just under the minimum 6Mp....eliminated them and retried the upload of the 40+ first-time failed images. Second time around all were uploaded, so it was maybe some temporary glitch.

The usual shift or control to add to selection.  Also, cntrl-a if one is already selected.

Thanks Sean.

Do we have to supply MR with the submission for CTA? Because quick start guide says we can provide them later?

I have all MRs but it would be a lot easier if we could provide them IF we are accepted to Stocksy at all.

Got a standard "we don't feel there is a fit at this time" rejection email today, so those who applied may hear soon about their applications, lookout for your mailbox.

I've also had my rejection... I'm not surprised, I'm definitely not hip enough for them. At least I can move on and upload elsewhere. Good luck to you all!

I'm still in the running, maybe they saw some magic in my brasilnuts

^ Thanks!

Is it possible to change our web address/social media contact that we added in the beginning?

Because I'd like to update it, and I can't find it anywhere.

I wonder if this is the kind of stuff they're looking for. I've just included it and have a batch close to 50 images...let's see...

Has anyone actually been accepted yet?

Still waiting for my rejection email 
Friday will be 4 weeks since applying
I think some of my images are a good fit (my biased opinion) but I have very little net presence to speak about

We'll see

Seven weeks as of today and still waiting (now I have probably jinxed myself and will get a rejection letter tomorrow )

What does actually mean "social presence"? Does it have to be instagram? For example I'm much more active in facebook for example, but if instagram is a must that it is equal to not socially priesent for me...

My initial application/uploads were on 9-14 - still no word.

Submitted my application a few days ago, currently at 50+. Not sure if my work will suit, some are more creative but many are fine art of landscapes and people of Nepal, China, Norway, Bhutan, Myanmar, Morocco etc. and a few drone shots of the same, as the application notes suggested they were looking for people based or supplying East and SE Asian stock. We'll see, I'm just starting out on this stock road 

My typical work can be seen on Instagram at : thedragonsfather

Photos submitted so far can be seen in the screenshots attached. Any chance do you guys think or not sufficiently 'stock' orientated ?

Stocksy doesn't accept editorial images so images with identifiable people, of which you have quite a few, won't/may not be considered in the application unless you have the model release. Some have said you can submit later though...

As for what they're looking for, it seems like they're looking for that "wow" factor, of which you've certainly demonstrated with some of your images. I've put together 60 images so far, adding a few of my best ones from my recent trip to Tuscany.

Seems like we have a similar travel-orientated style.

Attached are my 60:

Good luck to us!

Hi, I finished to add some photos, initially I uploaded just videos, but they send me mail telling me thate the procces of application was finished but I can keep uploading until they decide if they want me hehehe, so I uploaded some photos, I attatch it, the videos are slow motion of naked man (from back) running to the waves, and aerial shots of man in a clif with open arms...

Please tell me what you think about

Frogfish, I like your photos, but it seem, for me, without an personal point of view, they are great, but I cant see "your personality", and I think that this is important in stocksy the "author" print...

Brasilnut, I dont know if you ask for impressions about your photos, I think if you have put the photos is for this, so in my opinion there is a lack of more risk, I mean, the photos are ok, good, great, but I miss more original or diverse perspective

Sorry for my english (i tried my best) in spanish my opinion is much better hahahahaha

I appreciate your feedback and I agree with you. I desperately need to get some model-released stuff and don't want to invest in those types of pics without being accepted (chicken and egg). In any case, going through my 450 or so images from my week in Tuscany and looking for something wow and original. Lots of unreleased stuff so my options are a bit limited.

Perhaps something like this???

Impressive milky-way stuff, by the way.

Buena suerte amigo!

Thanks, I m glad you liked it.

Yes, that photo is more close to the stocksy spirit (I think) but, sorry always there is a "but", the persons are pasted to the background, if you have some of this shots more from low angle for getting the silhouettes aginst the sky it would be greater.

If you are in Florence try to play with the tipycal scenes (old bridge, David, etc) but playing with shuttr speed for example and getting photos with "no people" (desappeared if you put 30 seconds of shutter) I dont know is just an idea, hehehe

Buena suerte también para tí!!!

Pronto!

in my opinion you should study more the stocksy library before applying.
