Shutterstock.com / What's with SS rejecting all photos while others accepted them all
« on: March 21, 2022, 18:13 »
Recently from last 2 batch of uploads Shutterstock rejected all of my photos with some various reasons. I don't know if they are dying, someone hate me at SS or they don't like Easter.
I had a photoshoot with Easter decoration, Eggs in a basket with white rabbit, just a batch of 40 photos, and every few days when I have time I work on few of them and upload to bunch of stock websites.
First batch of uploads was 10 photos and many of them got accepted except couple being duplicated, which is reasonable. Next 2 times I uploaded again 10 photos and another 12 photos.
Shutterstock rejected all of them even though they are from same batch, same quality, good lighting.
I uploaded all these photos to different stock websites also at the same time and other websites accepted almost all of the photos if not all.
And now I have Alamy, Depositphotos, Pond5, 123RF accepted all 32 photos, with Adobe and BigStock rejected few of them for being too similar. But Shutterstock rejecting all of them from 2nd and 3rd batch of uploads and now I have only 6 accepted from them.
This is very strange as Shutterstock usually accept 90% of my photos uploaded.
Did you have similar problems lately, should I try to reupload photos again for 2nd round of review, maybe write something in note for reviewer or just forget it?
Also I usually make about 10$ sales per month but this month it's already 22nd of March and I didn't make any sale in this month, 0$.
