Applying to Stocksy - some help needed please

(1/3) > >>

Anonystocksy:
Hey ya'll, I am preparing my set for Stocksy and I would like some advise please from peeps who have applied, successfully or not. I hope this is the right place.

Could you let me know how many images you submitted and what kind of subjects?
And for the ones who were successful, what did your set look like, what type of images, filtered, unfiltered, candid, posed, landscapes, people, fine art, etc.

Many thanks in advance

What others have submitted may not be very helpful to you.  Stocksy is looking to fill gaps in their collection which means they could be looking for something that others have not submitted.

My advice is to just be yourself.  If you have a niche then submit primarily that subject matter but show the breadth of your work in your submission.  Stocksy does an extensive review of prospective contributors so they will be looking at the scope of your work beyond that contained in your submission whether it be your website, Flikr, etc

I honestly can't remember how many images I initially submitted.  If that number isn't in their guidelines I would suggest 15-20 images with links to whatever else you have out there.

Sean has more insight than I do in this process so hopefully he will chime in.

Good luck!

Anonystocksy:
Thank you for that comment, my problem is that I dont have an extensive portfolio and I am looking to change my style a bit as it has been more geared towards micro rather then macro or stylish agencies.

I am building a new portfolio so maybe it is to soon to apply.

Are there more Stocksy members on here that can chime in? Appreciated.

Also, if you do not have a large portfolio right now, why don't you take your time, build the port and then apply for next year's CfA?

Anonystocksy:
Thank you, Do I need a large portfolio to apply?

When is the next CfA? April 2016?
