There is also another organization that will also help you get to events in your area and pay you to shoot for them plus you get the pictures for yourself as well.

seriously? it looks like the biggest scam ever, is that for real? we will pay to have pictures online for sale? 50 cents?
I am lost and perplex
When I was a working member of the media I had a "Press Pass" issued by that publication. That only verified that I was a member of that staff. "Credentials" are issued by the event sponsors. A "Press Pass" gets you nothing. You still need to request credentials.
Credentials come from the event organizers. Anybody can have a Press Pass. Just Make Your Own.
 just googled and found leaf saying the same thing at DPCallenge (hope there is no problem to post it here)

i think i remember a discussion about this a while back on here perhaps or on another forum. It seemed more like a scam to get you to dish out the $$ to get one of their 'press passes'. then supposedly they might sell some of your pictures. You might do better, making your own press pass out of plastic and cardboard and shooting for alamy...... or contacting the local paper for gigs.
Understand the part of the credentials but when you dont need credentials for lets say a national disaster like earthquakes, hurricanes or tornadoes a recognizable press pass will get you into the area that no others can get into except for the press and newspapers.
Can't imagine that NPPA thing would carry the least bit of weight in Glasgow (no-one would recognise it), but OTOH, they don't tend to get earthquakes, hurricane or tornadoes there either (but I know what you meant, fire, flood, seige).
Maybe I could just get a hi-vis vest (yuck), my iScotalypse lanyard and stick a card saying Press in my hatband. (Memo to self: get a hat with a hatband).
I caught hell trying to get pictures of where a tornado ripped apart our middle School with all of the local and State police and finally after making numerous phone calls i was allowed in as long as i wore my reflective vest, but if i would have had a press pass to start with there would have been no questions asked and they would have allowed me access without any problems or hassle.

Not boring, but I did know the generalities of what you said.
Rux seemed to imply that it was easy to get a press pass, and from what I know and what you said, it certainly isn't so in the UK. Also, newspapers are so used to people sending in photos of everything from events to news for free, they hardly need stringers.
But anyway, to the OP, assuming you can't get credentials, and assuming that you are shooting in a place where it's allowed (a street festival, or a music sports event in a public park or other public place etc., according to what's allowed in your country) just send them to Alamy. However, if it's scuddy pics of the Ginger Prince, the UK media won't publish them (other than a Scottish website, apparently).
Here this is for international as well as the States and Canada. http://nppa.org/about_us/why_join/who_can_join.htmlThere is also another organization that will also help you get to events in your area and pay you to shoot for them plus you get the pictures for yourself as well. http://picturestock.com/phpcode/web/press_pass.phpIn the States a press pass will get you places that other photogs aren't allowed without any hassle from police.

But Barry SS won't let me do the Red Carpet program coz I don't have people photos so they're not going to let me into that because of it. And yeah Red Carpet events are 2 year exclusive with SS which I don't think I could justify in doing anyway.
I would just have to figure out how to get said press pass and upload it with the images.
I know Anita i read the post before. But anyone can get a press pass easily and it will give you access to where they let the press only, and you should be able to submit editorials as long as you show proof of the press pass. And dont forget not everything requires credentials for editorial.

Is it my imagination that SS is the only site that makes you jump through hoops if you don't have the credentials?
Nope, iStock requires permission, and have a form you're supposed to get signed, but the form is still unavailable to download.
I've had pics rejected when they were taken in a public event in a public park.
Most places I've written to to try to get permission don't get back to me; some say no-one can grant permission as none is needed (public space) a few have wanted to know which publications I'll be submitting to, and they're not interested in stock libraries.
At a couple of local events, I've noticed that the local press is a or even the major sponsor, so I guess I can't compete with that! They get their money back by selling prints to participants through their offices. That's for special access, even in public spaces.
Get a press pass.
thats was a useful entry thank you lol
Well she said I've noticed that the local press is a or even the major sponsor, so I guess I can't compete with that! and i just said to get a press pass. With a press pass she will be able to compete and go where no others can!

No email here either about credentials.
Now i do know how you can get a press pass if anyone wants to know how?
It does cost a little money but not much compared to some i have found out about.

Try deleting that cookie or all your shutterstock cookies. I think that cookie may be corrupt.

Barry do you get the same output on all the browsers you tried? I've yet to see that on on IE 9 or Firefox.
Yeah Kenny. I do a lot of vectors and SS is the only one that has to have them separate. It's annoying and takes twice as long to upload to them if they would just take the eps and a large raster and then generate the small preview image from either one of those it would streamline my workflow on upload day by a lot. They should really find a way to make that a reality. I'm tired of uploading there twice every week or so.
Only getting it with firefox? Just woke up and tried to view a port and that's what i get no matter whAT EVEN MINE? Nothing done any different than any other day?

Hi All,
When you receive a high royalty for a single image, it is because the image was sold under a license that offers the option for sensitive use. That does not mean that the use was a sensitive one. The majority of these images will not be used in a sensitive manner. However, such use is a possibility. Unlike some competitors, we give you the ability to opt-out.
High royalties are often the result of a prenegotiated agreement with volume buyers such as large advertising agencies. These volume buyers may require additional license or workflow features, such as the option for sensitive use, indemnification, multi-user accounts, prenegotiated pricing, and special billing and workflow features.
By opting-in to sensitive use, you get access to all sales made to these buyers. By opting out, your images aren't available to buyers who require the option of sensitive use.
Overall, these sales are a great opportunity to drive additional revenue to you and we're excited to make them available. 
Best,
Scott

Thanks for providing the clarification Scott. Much appreciated.
Yes double thanks on that one.  Not worried about models so no big deal on that one.

Free is what happens in the retail world!
They offer something for free to get people in the door and then once you are in the door they get you because they now have you, but what they forgot is that there is and will always be those one or two people who will not falter and will only be there for the "Free" stuff and are not interested in anything else.
There are a bunch of sites that want your rejected work to be given away for free, but why should they give it away for free after all they rejected it.
No one gets anything for free.

Doesn't matter because popular images are all still all wrong according to the way the "Old Popular" was.

Here read this. Why going exclusive with another agency is a bad idea: 1) You will be just another exclusive among hundreds vying for the same resources from one company. You can't go to another company to complain- you are stuck with a single channel. 2) Competition is good for the industry and YOU! Let's say you don't like the way they are treating a certain rule/idea/etc. You have nowhere to go! At least you can use your vote by concentrating your efforts on another agency until the other one gets back in line. Why give up your voting power? In fact, these other agencies don't even let you talk about other stock agencies on their forums. You give up a lot to go exclusive. 3) Why sell your photos in one place for just a 10% increase at that one agency? Tons of photographers are telling me every day that they make more with ShutterStock than anywhere else! Why not make cash here, AND everywhere else? 4) Staying with ShutterStock means being part of something new and changing. We consider all of your suggestions - and implement them back into the system as quickly as we can. What happened when we weren't processing photos fast enough? We hired a night reviewer who worked on Christmas Eve! What other agency will review your photos on a major holiday? 5) I don't like exclusivity -- and i don�t plan to lock anybody into ShutterStock. I think you guys should sell your photos everywhere and make as much money as possible! Besides - the model we have here is just one model... Your photos may do well here some parts of the year, and better in other places other parts of the year. 6) Other places may try to convince you that going exclusive is a good business idea. It is exactly the opposite! If you aren't convinced of that, go back to (1) and do not proceed until you agree.  7) Our traffic is increasing. Sales are increasing. If you don�t believe me, check out our Alexa Graph. If that doesn�t convince you to stay here � what will? 7) Finally, I would hate to see any of you go! Would welcome any feedback you guys have. Jon Oringer, Founder and CEO ShutterStock, Inc.
