Next year: "Rejection of artist is open, if you are from Mongolia, have a million of followers in istagram, a great Beard with tattoos (don't worry if you are a bearded girl) and have real lifestyle with real people that are models with last on fashion trends you can try"


Hahahaha..Well, the joke is done...

Anyway I do not see disrespectful to make us wait, patience is very important when selling photos

Writing by support, showing my web and all my work

you spin me round.. round ....round ...like a record baby....!!!

Ready for Getty 0,05 sales??
Ready for Istock 0,02 sales??

HI! Cavan don't work with Getty!!

You can earn good money with cavan by Offset and Infinite.

For me the worst of sites like Cavan or w61 is that you can't erase the images that don't work.

Hey people, 3 thoughts

1-. Cavan is not "EL DORADO". Cavan distribute to sites like offset, Plainpicture, Adobe Premiun... and sell a little by their own web but... If you don't have premium lifestyle you will earn more in microstock. A hipster looking a smartphone or a girl walking in city is not enough today in macro to compete.

2-. Why stocksy sell more??I think first is prices-quality... Offer/demand curve, good marketing and social networking popularity. Contributor fidelity and happiness is important for they see this first site for upload best stuff

3-. Yes, still waiting, because this... Stocksy threat is too boring...

Hi Clair Voyant, I do not think it's a lack of respect. They already warn the applicants that it will take a long time. It is always like this every year. I offer images exclusively because I have a lot of content, dont worry about some files waiting
 
Regarding that you do not have to change the style ... the stock is a business and you have to adapt to the trends. Only that. If I see that a model fits more into "real people" or "traditional" agencies and depending on the location I direct the session in one way or another.

I know a lot of photographers that adapt to the agency that best treats them and gives them more money.

For example, when working with westend 61 that distributes to several agencies, I combine traditional posed photos looking at a smiling camera and more clich� than getty, Folio, Adobe ... with other more candid photos that like offset, dissolve and plainpicture and so each one selects what suits him... By the way, that stocksy  accepts many portraits of people with crossed arms looking at camera with business in background... I think a los is the reviewer, model, location...

99 of the 100 assest I sent are exclusive. If they catch me i will start with a good portfolio, if they reject me those sessions can be hundreds of photos with which to start the year hard in another agency. There is no need to be impatient. Now there is no rush to upload photos to other agencies, the worst part of the year begins for any non-Christmas theme until January 6/7.

Anyway I do not understand so much waiting time, offset responds in less than a week, shutter in days ... the style is easily adaptable depending on which agency you think to guide a photo session, There are many traditional stock photographers who do well in Stocksy and they adapted their style ... and others who were admited after to do "rare and authentic" things with abandoned portfolios today ....

If I think about Shutter or fotolia I put people smiling at camera with crossed arms and I will process their face and teeth a lot, well now I do less. If I think of offset a sunset light and someone who seems not to know that it is photographed and I will make a subtle touch and cross fingers for take 20% of images, with more risky concepts. If I think of photographing for Istock, I photographmy children diapers...

Hi matt, why dont change the sistem of kwords order?? Is very painful... Why dont use stars system like Alamy or Stocksy??

hi!

THe stock market is saturated of photos. Begin now in agencies is hader than ever, is a market problem, not only istock.

Dont quit, only try improve quality and get more files in signature + collection, best paid and exposed.

I do not think Stocksy will mobilize so many people to admit only 10 contributors. It is not the Willy Wonka Choclate factory. In other occasions they have been 500.

If that were true I would not waste my time indexing 100 photos and many photographers that I know would not either.

HI! I see that is very generic content and average images... competence is great this years.
 Try make people images doing something with good light and prime lenses!

Waiting 40 days for review but im happy with offset and w61 if im rejected.
