Title: Shutterstock removed name and portfolio link from image page
Post by: John W. on July 04, 2025, 17:37
On the image page at Shutterstock, they removed the name of the photographer and the link to his/her SS portfolio page.

At least I just noticed, anyone else got the same?

It was that way for a bit, but it seems to have returned.

Where did they use to have it? (Haven't really gone to shitterstock in a while due to low sales/etc). But looked up one of my images,
while I am not sure where it was 'before' - they kind of "hide" things now. If you scroll WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY down beyond a bunch of "competing"
images/videos on YOUR page - then there is a link that says "More from this artist..." (of course hiding the name though). The name/etc is not at all
on the page (although there is an icon that you use for your profile).

IF you click on the 'more from this artist' - which is hidden waaaaaaaaaay past the "similiar images" then "recommend for you" (of course COMPETING people)...
"then" I can get to my portfolio page...

Only visible is the avatar of the contributor, without the name and link. It seems to only be like this with editorial images.

Same for me, checked in two different browsers. Link and name is available for commercial images only, and missing for editorial content. It would seem to be intentional, although I can't think why it might be applied?

My name and links to my portfolio show up both for commercial and editorial images.

It's back now for my editorial images too, so maybe it was just a temporary glitch.
