I am a beauty/fashion photographer new to microstock. I just submitted 10 shots and have had acceptances at FT, DT, 123, waiting on others. After the 1st 3 shots, IS asked to see more diversity, so I sent 3 more beauty/fashion shots from different shoots. IS is still asking for diversity, which in my case, I guess means non-beauty/fashion???

Here is my new DT port (basically the same shots IS saw):

I don't have much current stuff that is not beauty/fashion, but here are four images that show diversity, though I don't really think they are stock-type shots. Would some of you be willing to opine, if any of these three would be useful to send to IS at this point, or should I hunt for more?

Thanks

I would keep the image of the man talking to the girl and the one of the child.  I don't think the images of doors will get you accepted. 

Your work looks very good to me.  I am sure you will be accepted.

During an application IStock don't care about model releases or logos, trademarks and that's why they don't put those images  straight to the portfolio.These need to be uploaded again.
I've submitted a portrait without MR and it passed the exam.

I think first one is really good _stock_ image. Do not drop it from candidates!

I like the man talking to the girl too. You clearly know how to use your camera and your lights so just do a couple of simple shots of anything stock oriented but preferably not too technically demanding (until you have more experience on what they tend to reject on). Some simple still-life shots of food or drink or a reasonable landscape would give you diversity.

Yes, people images without MR's are fine because you can't submit MR's during application process.

But I think (I don't know for sure) an image like the second one would be rejected because a contributor submitting this image didn't read the copyright section of the Training Manual carefully enough. That's part of the iStock approval process as well, isn't it? I wouldn't submit an image with lots of post cards with other people's motives because I have doubts it would be accepted.

If my theory is right that copyright/trademark questions are part of the approval process, the first image would also be a question mark because of the prominent Nike logo on the shoe. That one would never get through regular inspection, I am not sure if it passes application review.

Maybe you can also come up with one or two cityscapes or landscapes to show your abilities to shoot photos without people as well. Besides that, those images look good from composition, light and colors. Though it's impossible to say from these thumbs if there are technical flaws in the little details when seen in 100%.
