Title: Would the SI Swimsuit Cover be rejected by Microstock Sites?
Post by: packerguy on February 17, 2011, 12:38

Does anyone think the current Sports Illustrated swimsuit cover would be rejected for lighting if it as submitted to microstock sites?

Here is a link to the cover:

I don't think so.  And if it were, I'd say the reviewer who did it should be sent back for re-education.

NO WAY... shes hot... and almost naked. very commercial and all agencies will gladly have that shot. Now, if she was average looking, with blemishes, then you would get the usual "lighting" rejection. which basically means no one wants to use this picture in any advertisement.

No there's nothing wrong with the lighting.

Lighting? Was there something about 'lighting'? Sorry, I just didn't notice.

Accepted but with 2 model releases; one from her and one from her plastic surgeon for his artwork!

What's wrong with her lip? Looks like she has a big blister on the top lip.

I won't go into long detail why, but it looks kind of artificial and plastic.  ;)

Yes it would be rejected for Micro for a number of reasons. Mostly because Micro isn't art it's marketing.

Heck - Adams, Stieglitz, Feininger and the foundations of photography would be rejected too. Norman Rockwell however was a bridge and would be acceptable anywhere for either. Interesting?

Typical hard fashion lighting. No rejection. Probably get about 75 downloads over 2 years time, mostly extra small.
