iStockPhoto.com / When people view ur portfolio, are creative & editorial photos shown separately?

« on: April 07, 2019, 00:45 »

I haven't tried editorial before but I imagine that if it is news worthy or relevant to trending news then it is useful. However this might mean it might not be the cleanest of photos in terms of background clutter or technical quality. When people view my portfolio, will it be shown together with my creative photos? Thanks

Newbie Discussion / Can I see how many times my old photos sold before on iStock?

« on: April 04, 2019, 21:53 »

Hi,

I posted about 10 photos in iStock in 2012/2013 and then I lost interest and stopped. I recently logged in again and I see I have earned about $9.50 (pretty pathetic I know).

Just wondering if there is a way I can see which photo sold previously and how many times? Now if I log into the ESP Getty site, it only gives me data from 2017 until now.

On another note, is there a way to see how many times other peoples photos got sold? I recall this used to be there but I guess maybe removed? I am just curious more for editorial photos because a lot of those seems very generic and very repetitive and so I am wondering if it is worth trying it too.

Thanks.

Shutterstock.com / Is there any penalty if you have a low acceptance rate?

Hi,

Would like to know if there is any penalty at Shutterstock of any form (other than lost time), when you get your photos rejected often?

Thanks.

iStockPhoto.com / Grand Palace, Bangkok - Do you need a property release?

« on: July 26, 2013, 01:35 »

Hi,

Took some photos at a recent trip to Bangkok at the Grand Palace. Does anyone know if it needs Model Release to get accepted on IStock?

The place needs to pay entrance fee to get in to the Wat Phra Kaew (a royal temple in the Grand Palace grounds).

I see a lot of photos inside IStock of the exact same place, but I won't really know if they went to get a property release or not.

Thanks.

Shutterstock.com / Shutterstock Application

« on: January 07, 2013, 06:38 »

Hi,

Model Releases:
Would like to check whether model releases are really required for the application process as well? For istock, they don't care during the application stage when they are just checking your photo quality.

Property Releases
Similarly, what about property releases? Are they needed during application stage?

Thanks.

Shutterstock.com / Any refund policy similar to istock?

« on: November 29, 2012, 10:08 »

Hi, I'm only contributor at istock, so just curious if SS also have such lax refund policies as istock (e.g. people could just return photos months after downloading and the refund cost would be fully borne by the contributor)?

Thanks.
