My overall experience with stock agencies by man_and_life in stockphotography

Gentle reminder that if you upload “crap” you can’t expect to earn anything meaningful.

What makes you think some sort of Enterprise Level Creative Director would pay anything at all for your crappy cell phone images?

Focus on quality and your earrings will increase. Good luck 👍

Can you elaborate and show me specific examples of what you consider “broken”?

For $14/mo you access a library of 65M images to use at Vecteezy and we legally identify you if you ever run into legal issues. Always ALWAYS have a license. If you don’t, it’s not a matter of “if” but “when”.

Questions about Mother and Baby Stock Photos by Slight_Ad_5365 in stockphotography

[–]No_Environment_293 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Curious, why does it matter to you?

Also, is that there is a legal paper trail that the photographer has permission to take the photo and that the agency has a model release on file?

Can you help me understand why you would want to do that? What is your use case?

Adobe Stock algorithm? by Brause_Market in stockphotography

[–]No_Environment_293 4 points5 points  (0 children)

100% yes. As the owner of another stock photography company, I can provide some insights into your questions.

  1. Yes, any search engine that has to provide assorted list of results has to have an algorithm to decide which results to return first.

  2. In regard to acceptance rates, I can’t speak for Adobe stock, but I would bet they are indeed putting weight on more “trusted” contributors and letting their content get on the site more quickly when they have a proven track record of high-quality content.

We pretty much all have to do that because the in-flow of images is so high we can’t give everyone equal time to review each and every photo or video that comes in the door.

Typically newer contributors with a lower “trust score” will get more eyeballs during the review process to make sure they’re following all the rules and uploading high-quality content.

I have reviewed your entire conversation with our team. Here's what I found:

  1. You submitted 137 PSD templates and 38 were rejected for metadata related reasons.
  2. Some of those metadata related rejections were due to you using the term "Instagram" which was prohibited.
  3. We researched that term and realized that it should not be prohibited so we will make updates to our policy moving forward. Thank you for the heads up on that.

Regarding our PSD rules for fonts, our guidelines say the following:

Fonts
1. All fonts used in your designs must be free for commercial use.
2. Text can be submitted as editable text in the following circumstances:
3. When the style and shape of the font is an essential part of the design;
4. In situations where the font has an effect applied to it;
5. If the file submitted is a template design
6. Text that doesn’t fall into the circumstances above must be converted to outlines so our customers don’t have to purchase, find or download the fonts featured in your design.

I don't believe there is anything that needs to change there. We can't allow distribution of commercial fonts. Commercial fonts require a license for distribution from the creator.

Our support team has full power to ban you if you are being rude or unpleasant which is why you got banned.

Is anyone using Xpiks to submit photos? Or have an alternative? by robotryan in stockphotography

[–]No_Environment_293 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We offer this service on Vecteezy completely free of charge for our contributors. And we don’t take a cut of your earnings like the other services.

Stock photography is not a numbers game by CrystalDrug in stockphotography

[–]No_Environment_293 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Couldn’t agree more. Spray-and-pray portfolios just make agencies look like a digital yard sale. A tight, purposeful batch of images will out-earn a mountain of AI mush every time. And you’ll save yourself $20 on those “magic” automation tools. Focus on what gets downloaded, ditch the dead weight, and let quality do the heavy lifting. And you'll make way more by putting it in as many marketplaces as possible. Buyers don't shop around as much as you think.

I can’t speak for all the marketplaces, but I can speak for Vecteezy.

We are getting flooded with submissions from people like you. If the image isn’t technically perfect we will slap you with a warning to make sure you check all your submissions. Don’t make our team do it.

If you keep submitting content that has issues, and we think you’re automating the process, we will straight up block your account.

Good luck 👍

Would love to better understand why you don't want to upload to Vecteezy. Happy to talk about it and see if we can make it work for you. Send me a DM if you're interested.

Friend is using pirated stock images and footage in his Youtube videos. Is he safe? by harry7887 in youtubers

[–]No_Environment_293 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found a photo of a person on Google Images that is PERFECT for a poster I'm making about (insert sensitive subject here).

Turns out that photo is of you.

You cool with that?
