Not in Germany.

Yes you can Firn.   Please read article 23 and 24 of the link you shared.

23. Without the consent required according to �22, the following may be disseminated and displayed:
1. Portraits from the realm of contemporary history;
2. Pictures in which the people appear only as accessories next to a landscape or other location;
3. Pictures of meetings, elevators and similar events in which the persons depicted took part;
4. Portraits that are not made to order, provided that the dissemination or exhibition serves a greater interest in art.

24) For purposes of the administration of justice and public safety, portraits may be reproduced, distributed and publicly displayed by the authorities without the consent of the person entitled or the person depicted or their relatives.

Furthermore you still have some more exceptions for photojournalism and medical/science /education. For example I was in R&D project co-finance by EU where we had to take pictures of woman's cervix cancer to improve Colposcopy for medics (not the pap smear). These all exceptions is what you call something as editorial instead of commercial since the purpose of the photo does not relies in the identity of the person. but i am no expert here. For Germany my suggestion is that maybe you should consult this law firm  https://zellerseyfert.com/en/image-law-photo-law.html

Hi,
Just recover this thread to update you people how things are going in terms of using AI human realistic 3d models. I found this on youtube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Exayvv6BkI) and it's pretty amazing what we can do already if we merge SSGI plug in with https://generated.photos/faces in Blender 3d software.

I think in a year or two most this will start to be a common practice for at least commercial photos.

I unsubscribe yesterday.
i had all apps but i was just using it for after effects. I find Davinci real better for editing.
But now I am going to try Fusion. it seems very good,  its free and it's more used here for commercials and movies.
I think there is no point of spending 36,89 � a month when i can get better for free now.

starting cut somewhere.
love you too adobe :-)

Have account on mintable, opensea and rarible. For mintable and opensea you don't need to pay gas upfront now. There is a lot of hype and to be honest i did not put on sale yet. Last year I just register and put some of my work for fun there but not available for sale.

I did not try the invitation yet for Superare, foundation or nifty gateway. the invitation process requires an interview video, website and/or a lot of social media accounts (more is better). I heard rumors that this last three takes a cut from your sale but i could not understand exactly how much.   

For Stock Photo & Video Marketplace there is a site that is being build for NFT (Non-Fungible Tokens). It's not launched yet but you can joined the email list so you know when it will be launched. I know this from "photerloo" youtube channel 2/3 weeks ago... the site: https://www.uniquestock.io/​ 

There is other one called https://www.unique.one/ where you can mint with different coins instead of Ethereum with BSC and xDAI. Never tried...

NFT's are here since bitcoin and your work is already copyrighted by law.

I will sum this talk for you with 2 questions...
Are you an well known artist? Do you want to spend 60-80$ for gas to buy NFT's for your digital work?

If you respond yes to these questions than this can be for you and maybe you can win 1 million dollars like Beeple 3d artist did a couple months ago.
Otherwise continue creating work and do social media so one day it justifies to buy nft's to sell original copies of your work.
Beeple also did that for 10 years before buying an NFT last year.


 

1)Yes,
2)yes,
3)no.

all the best for your article! cheers

Hi! this happened to me too in P5.

If you're resubmitting the same clip you will get the double detection. Double detection reads metadata of your file. So the workaround that i found was to render it again. That will create a new metadata ID for your clip and will be good to go.   

When you edit your 8mm clip before submit to review you got at the end "curator note".
Just write there "Native format 8mm 4:3" and use some tags like 8mm, old film, archival in the description.
Sometimes It will pass but others not really. I suspect not all curators read the notes that I put in the clips.

Anyway after review simply send the reply with your justification in case of rejection. That worked for me.

In terms of sales it didn't match my expectations. But each case is one case... GL!

I am sorry... but who is Jon Oringer?
I thought it was Devil character in the movie Devil's advocate...    

Storyblocks... pfff!

Getting unlimited downloads does not get us anywhere!

Besides there are people who use it to promote Affiliate marketing products almost for free on ytb. Recently Storyblocks join vidnami (video editor online) where people can use for 14 days trial and make videos. For 47$ a month the client create unlimited videos with a few clicks among 790,000 Storyblocks Video Clips
 https://www.vidnami.com/

Imagine how much someone can produce/earn by promoting products of clickbank or other affiliate marketing agency while doing video almost for free....

Interesting...
Image of dunes with different background skies are very poor to my standards. I mean the images don't even respect the light at all. it seems like a copy+paste of 2 images in one. This guy have skills... but probably not related all to photography.

Hi, I share the same view: Content is king! not resolution or best high tech camera.
In my case.... almost 95% of portfolio is hd. Rest is 4k or 8k.
I also having the sense that there are much more sales nowadays with content made with smartphones HD than with last big cam (even set in HD). I think this is due to fact that smartphones are very portable,  less intrusive,  ready to shoot everywhere you go and some with even water resistible. Despite i love big gear i must say that can't beat this daily life advantages of smartphone.

"Please change your labeling of your photography on shutter stock as it is it is not even kinda racist.  You referring to a woman of color ...."

I just stop reading when SS called woman of "color".... LOL! You see In Europe, specially in Portugal, that is racist because we are educated that people don't actually have colors but they just different ethnicity. For instance here and in Spain "Negro" is the correct answer because Black is too much racist. you can find this in wiki too: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negro. But I know that is different in other cultures like USA where it seems Black is the right answer aside from Martin Luther King, Jr. called his own race as "Negro" in his famous "I Have a Dream" speech of 1963.

So it depends actually of the culture background. I know that "Afro Hair" is the exact term in Guinea West Africa since I lived there for a year. Also is the same word in Portugal. Probably is an offensive term in USA. In this case you should delete for something which can not give you so much trouble like "African Hair Style".

There is another way of think this:
upload your video in youtube and use music from someone.
creating an audience to artist is the flaw of microstock sites but the key to success for any artist.
cheers
