HI all, I am quite new here to the forum, but I would love to hear from someone who is aquited with Stocksy, I would like to apply there, but I am not sure at all whether I have any chance there.
I would love if you can have a look at my portfolio, prepared for them and tell me what do you think? Do I have any chance?
Here is the link

But i really like the colors of your images.

Sean - you have to copy and paste the first address (it isn't an active link because it is from a nonactive member), not the link in the second post.
I think I can activate it - https://www.flickr.com/photos/tomsickova/sets/72157644648819781/

Thank you. I don't know how to post an active link ...
Maximilian, thank you. I wanted to know what picture might be in interest from Stocksy, I will add more pictures. How many approximately do I have to have in the portfolio?

Link that works for me: https://www.flickr.com/gp/tomsickova/4VM0W7/

Very nice and cute but too staged for Stocksy IMHO

On a sidenote I think I saw very similars of these photos at SS as well as at Getty, possible?

The photographs are quite nice

Love the cute folks ! Perhaps a little bit more variety will help strengthen your application !

Great images, great post production! I like those with the kid waiting for the train and twinkle twinkle little light. I'd add more variety, but I think it's good to go.

The images look great, but most of them are too staged for Stocksy. You should present a greater variety and be really picky with what you select.

t.tomsickova · « **Reply #10 on:** May 14, 2014, 07:57 »

Thank you, can anyone say for example which one you think might be good for Stocksy? Or none of them will do at all? Just to have a clue on what type of images should I focus in the future. Thanks

I agree that they're very nice, but a little pose-y for Stocksy (including the wardrobe). I do think that these might work for an application:

https://www.flickr.com/photos/tomsickova/14184547125
https://www.flickr.com/photos/tomsickova/13993685140 Definitely this one
and maybe: https://www.flickr.com/photos/tomsickova/13993791877

The painter ones are too purposefully posed and the comp onto the canvas doesn't work for me. The twinkly night ones have a great color to them, but I'm not sure if the fake snow works.

Great, many thanks!!!
Highly appreciate your time and answer. I was hoping you will help!
I will keep working on images. How many images I do have to present for an application?

Not sure what the "best" number is. They are re-doing the application process right now.
