Hi all, well so far i have managed to be in the 'stock circle' for just over year now and with 1k pictures i don't have any people shots in there! - and with a friend just having bought a lighting kit i thought i may aswel give some people shots a go...
Now i know most of the sites have model release forms on there but is there just a generic one somewhere on the web that doesn't have dreamstime etc written allover it?
Cheers, Phil

Just a quick update, after a week of waiting, they have all been re-reviewed and lots of green approved notes  13 rejected which i can live with! This takes me over the 500 online mark which isn't bad for under 2 months i guess Thanks for your input

hi guys, this tax form thing on SS is mind boggling, and hoping you could help me out.
Stuck on sections 6, 7 and 8, to do with -
6. U.S. Taxpayer Identification Number ssn, itin, or ein
7. Foreign tax identifying number, if any (optional)
8.. Reference number(s) (optional)
anyway not entirely sure on these parts, basically im just your average guy from the united kingdom with an average day job and doing this on the side for a bit of extra money.
Thanks in advance for any advice

Well i recently had 90 images pending, and only 3 got accepted, the vast majority for 'poor composition', now i'm no professional photographer but im pretty sure i can compose a picture correctly and my acceptance has never ever been anywhere near that low.
Is there a way to flag it up so i can re-submit or do i just have to bite the bullet and move on (they have been accepted at other sites)

Only 4 sales so far this month compared to last months 34 and the previous month 32...
I have not uploaded anything in 2 months as i have been putting all my time into other stock sites,
do you think the lack of sales is anything to do with me not uploading?

well i am awaiting to leave dreamstime exclusivity and am looking at getting all/as many of my pictures accepted onto ss, they seem to be really picky when it comes to everything and had 56/154 accepted, a few were down to focus issues which i thought was crazy as i have reviewed them up at 100% and find them really sharp.
Anyway i hear a few people on here resize photos to avoid this so what kind of dimensions are we talking?
everything i shoot is on a 5d mk2 so the image size is currently at 5616 x 3744, what would you resize them to?

The 6 month thing is just that if you are with them for longer than 6 month prior to leaving then you keep your bonuses etc Otherwise they take them back It takes 1 month to leave

I am aware that there is a post already floating about regards leavving dt exclusivity but this is slightly different  I am currently with dt and thinking of leaving exclusivity, i have been uploading a few shots to ss (but offline) and it seems that about 50-60% of my shots are getting accepted there out of the ones at dt. i have nearly 1000 shots at dt so in theory i should have around 500 accepted at ss. with only half the amount there would i see any money gains over being exclusive at dt? my current earnings at dt range from $25 - $60 per month plus my 20c per aproved image (not loads but i'm always uploading new shots, around 30 - 50 photos per week) obviously over time i'd be going to several other agencys but for now i would be concentrating on ss as that seems to be the key...

I'm currently on the fence about leaving exclusivity on dt in search of more money.
i have around 870 images with them and 1140 in my 'stock folder' on my computer which gives a guide to my current acceptance rate.
i recently submitted 156 pictures at shutterstock and had 53 accepted, are all the other agencys out there as hard to get pictures accepted as shutterstock?

just read this whole post as i am currently hovering over leaving dt exclusivity myself, i currently have 56 files online (but inactive) at ss and 150 pending aproval, going to wait til i have atleast 400/500 aproved before i make the jump i think

Hi all, I'm currently in the process of leaving exclusivity on dreamstime now i have 1000 pictures with them, and plan to upload that 1000 to other sites in the hope of generating more income,
Obviously asking peoples income is rude so would anyone be willing to give out percentages of which agencys earn you the most, as im currently deciding which sites to sign up for.
Cheers, Phil
