Istock is telling me via email that images that have the same person, doing the same pose, where one is a close up of the face and another is a full body shot is 'too similar', and that a full body vertical shot of a person vs a horizontal torso shot are 'too similar' and have limited  my uploads (to an unreasonably low number).

I have 50,000 photos. they want me to upload a max of 50 per week.

no advance warning.

I am going to lose out on all those 1 cent photo sales.

I am not complaining, I am just notifying the rest of you because they do not warn in advance, they just place the restriction and refuse to resolve it.

Wow!...they are actually restricting your upload rate?

Someone else received a similar message and restriction. You'll see their detailed message in the thread titled "?Images in a series ... good idea?"

There's no law stating that you can't submit similar shots to a stock agency, so you should sue them.
