excerpts: Use adjectives and not nouns when referring to a persons race or ethnicity. e.g., say a Hispanic person (adj.) rather than a Hispanic (n.)

never in my mind if I heard someone say "a Hispanic walks into a bar" that the word "hispanic" is a noun. it is an adjective and the noun (person) is implied.

the entire basis for your guidelines is wrong.

this is INCORRECT.

"a Hispanic person" is not an adjective. it is a noun and an adjective.

please create a new guideline for listing vaccination status with all images with or without people. we want to make sure everyone is vaccinated so we should also include nature photos, animals, inanimate objects, abstracts, etc for vaccination declaration.

I will start by voluntarily adding vaccination status to all of my photos.

"unvaccinated healthy biological male living life without respiratory infection" is an example of what people should write for a portrait of a biological male

not everyone understands english. please remove all use of english from your site and only use international languages.

some people have lower incomes and cannot afford to buy stock photos. please make all stock photos free so as to fulfill your destiny of being inclusive.

some suggestions for banning:

"damaged car" should be written as "automobile that has sustained damage"

"pollution" should be "environmental area that is polluted"

all religious words also need to be removed because some people are not religious.

please remove all references to christmas, thanksgiving, halloween, and other holidays as they are not inclusive.

I do like your idea about age ranges. we should use an age range to describe people as mentioned in your guidelines. for example, I could say "65 year old person" instead of 'pensioner' because pensioner implies the person is not human.

I will now start using the same idea for weight. such as a '300 pound person with 40 inch waste' instead of a fat person. I will bring a scale to all of my shoots with models and weigh them all and I will be sure to disclose it prominently in my images

and for the women I will put their dress size instead of saying they are fat

I will do the same for students. if the student is posing as being stupid, I will just put "90 IQ person" so it is not offensive.

my father is a biological male.

you forgot to add to your guidelines that we should always say "biological male father" to differentiate between a photo of a "non biological male father". we don't want to diminish someone's parental status

also you failed to announced that 'pregnant mother' must always be written as 'birthing person who is pregnant'

something you should add to your guidelines.

some parents are not human. for example, dogs can be parents. so I think it is offensive to use the word 'parents' to describe humans. therefor, please add a guideline that any reference to 'parents' that are human should be written as 'human parents' so there is no confusion and no dehumanization.

can we say "a mechanic fixing a car" or do we have to say "a person who is a mechanic fixing a car"

can we say "a psychologist" or do we have to say "a person with a degree in psychology"

can we say "a student studying" or do we have to say "a person who is a student engaging in a behavior that by definition is to study"

is Shutterstock a company? because they do not identify themselves as "the Shutterstock Company" so I am confused if they have been de-companied. saying "I work at Shutterstock" reduces the corporate status because we do not know if Shutterstock is a company or a person. does it mean they work for a person named Shutterstock? we need strict guidelines for this.

you cannot say "photo of an Italian walking into a bar" because people might think it is Italian food walking into the bar and not a person.

or they might think it is some other Italian non-human thing in the photo.

ok, now I understand.

you should not say "A diebetic in a fast food restaurant eating a hamburger" because it does not indicate that it is a person, and dogs can be diabetic so people looking at the photo of the person might think he is a dog


I went to my doctor and said "I am diabetic" and he was confused because he was not sure if I was a person or not

I told my friend "I am Italian" and everyone got offended

you said: "I don't care whether it  is"wrong" or "right" to you, it's what the Shutterstock guidelines say you are supposed to do and this is a therad about Shutterstock's guidelines."

in France it is illegal for a private company to regulate language

it is offensive to use the term "Shutterstock" because some cameras do not use shutters, and therefor it hurts the feelings of camera owners that have cameras that do not use shutters. therefor the name should be changed to:

Stock-from-shutter-and-non-shutter-based-cameras.com

also you have to stop using ".com" because it implies capitalism.

you should never say "medicine" because some medicines are harmful, such as macrolide antibiotics.

from now on, you must always say "medicines that are not harmful" and stop using offensive and harmful words such as "medicine"

using "I" is dehumanizing.

you must say "I as a person" in order to not be offensive.

according to SS you cannot say:

Banned from shutterstock under new guidelines for being offensive:

"I love Hispanics"

"I help diabetics out of my love for medicine"

"I love Americans"

"Let's give a round of applause for all the diabetc hispanics who recovered"
They want you to use it like this:

"I love hispanics people"

"I help diabetic people out of my love for medicine"

"I love American people"

"Let's give a round of applause for all the diabetc hispanic people who recovered"


It's better anyways, because if a cusomer seraches for "diapetic person", he will not get shown your image titeled/keyworded  with "diabetic" only. On the other hand a customer searching for "diabetic" only will get an image titeled/keyworded "diabtic person" as well.

your idea of adding 'person' is wrong because it does not specify if it is a good person or a bad person. it dehumanizes good people because it lumps all good and bad people together. try:


"I love good hispanic people"

"I help good diabetic people out of my love for medicine"

"I love good American people"

"Let's give a round of applause for all the good diabetc hispanic people who recovered"

permitted on shutterstock:

"photo of a hispanic person failing to win the race to faster white runner"

"photo of person with diabetes overconsuming sugary foods while white doctor advises him not to"

"photo of hispanic person stabbing a white person"

now I get it, the above are not offensive

according to SS you cannot say:

"Italians live in Italy"

or "Americans like to eat fast food"

"A Hispanic walks into a bar" is not offensive. in English, the word "person" is implied

"a diabetic" is not an offensive phrase


Banned from shutterstock under new guidelines for being offensive:

"I love Hispanics"

please remember to send an email to all your customers / stock buyers notifying them they cannot do searches anymore for 'hispanic' because they are being racist

(hispanic means "a person who speaks spanish", as defined by US government)

you can no longer say things such as "An American" because it is offensive

You can no longer say "an intelligent person", now you have to say "a person with intelligence"

You can no longer say "An American person", it has to be "A person from America"

You can't say "A winner", you have to say "A person who has won"

You can't say a "cook", you have to say "a person who cooks"

You can no longer say "A patient", it has to be "a person who has sickness"

You can no longer say "A fireman", it has to be "A person who is employed in fire suppression as a career"

great job. well thought out.

I have bought footage from 2 other fotographers

I think it was slightly profitable, but their quality of work was kinda low
