Do you know if brands can be used as keywords in creative content? f.i. "les paul" and "gibson" in a les paul type guitar without logos?

Thank you.

Mostly NO unless it's Editorial, as in

You can submit them as "illustrative editorial" and only if the guitar is a Gibson Les Paul and Shutterstock should accept them (barring any technical issues of quality).

Include the phrase illustrative editorial in your keywords and use the standard editorial description place - date: etc.

The same would apply to any Trademarked or protected names or products such as Nike, Ford, Mattel, Disney... you get the idea?

trabuco:
Thanks for the answers.

I understood this for the titles and objects logos, but the confussion was for AS. Anyway the better option is not to include these keywords.

When I shot my guitars I use to focus cutting the part with logos and using my hands to cover them if are on pickguard f.i.

All of these pictures are accepted as creative, except on BS, where all of them are rejected and submitted as editorial.

The only one that works properly for me is SS. Slowly, but soon yet.

Not a good future for this business.

Not Today:

Well, I've read on SS that I can't use them. No matches found searching by "Gibson Les Paul".

In AS searched by "Gibson Les Paul" and there are pictures.

So... I think I'm not going to include them, gonna use "mahogany" o thinks like that instead the brand.

Would be better the same criteria.

I've got a similar issue with footage. Do you know if footage can be accepted as illustrative editorial?

And I've got a few more questions if any of you know, that'll be greatly appreciated!  ::)

- Does the description need to have the brand name? Or can I just mention 'camera' instead of 'canon 5D' for instance?

- I've got visible actors in the footage, and I have model releases for them. Should I upload the model releases or not? (editorial with release is usually rejected).

Thx in advance!
