Author Topic: Shutterstock Application Review Process (Read 3075 times)

Please could anyone tell me how the review process for new 'wanting' to be contributors to shutterstock works - or rather doesn't.
Whilst I understand they have to have a review process to set standards why when I resubmitted all 10 images that they said would have passed did they fail 6 if the ones that had previously passed.
These same images are successful on other sites including alamy.
Thanks.

Because each time you apply, it is a new review, which can lead to different results from the same images. They are not looking back at the results of the previous 10 that you sent.

Thanks for the reply to my post regarding shutterstock review.
What puzzles me is the inconsistencies of their review process.
How can they at one review this image would be a pass and on the following review with the same image a fail.
Puzzling to say the least.

You are not the first one who has asked that question, but that is how it is.

If your photos are good, and have sales potential, they will not be rejected.
