Just starting and happily have been accepted first time by quite a few

Have several niche / series ideas I am working on - not sure of the best way to tackle them with uploading

Is it best to hold them until I have several to send at once - or should I send them individually

Any advice appreciated

Upload new images immediately they are ready __ always. That's especially true as a newbie as the feedback from sales will be useful knowledge on which subjects to spend your time (or not as the case may be). It is also better to spread the uploading of images from the same series as they are less likely to be rejected for 'similars' and the series also has more chances to catch the eye of buyers who scan the newest images.

Thanks for the quick reply - nothing amazing as a niche but just wonder how reviewers handle series I guess

So for example if I had a series of 5 images of Bread (for example) all individual but obviously a series would a reviewer get the 'idea' more than a random photograph of bread displayed on a shelf

This assumes that all of the images are of acceptable quality etc

I guess I am asking how the review process works a little?  Does one reviewer look at all uploads from a contributor or do they just tackle them one by one

Just try things and learn from what happens. The best definition of 'an expert' I ever heard was 'one who has made most mistakes'.

I submit a lot of series, mostly from model shoots but also sometimes from food sessions or road trips.  I submit batches of 20 at a time, and generally have them all accepted.  As long as the images are sufficiently different from each other (more than subtle differences in composition), you shouldn't have a problem with most agencies.  At least that's been my experience.

I would have said: "you should have problems only with Dreamstime"

yes, +1. if you haven't read the many threads here about DT you will have to find a different strategy for them. don't use exactly the same keywords, description (even though it's so easy to just populate from previous images, that's a trap). you may submit 3 and have 1 rejected. Seems like they just can't help themselves so I always submit extras - buffers that I presume will be rejected.  I've uploaded 2 and had one rejected cos "you already have several similar images". I've also had a batch of 5 ALL rejected for being too similar, so then had 0 go through. I found it hilarious.
