Hi Rob
We are currently preparing a property brochure for a new development in Marine Parade East, Lee on Solent and I was wondering if you had any suitable pictures we could look at.
Regards
Doug Saunders

I know you wrote this a while back but it’s a good story. I just submitted my first set of three photos yesterday for admission to the istock site. I am hoping they make it but realize they might not on the first try. I shoot with a Nikon D40X and don’t to a whole lot of post-processing. Congrats on making it in and hope to join you there soon.

The site Dennis mentioned is terrible. Some of the photos are decent (not stock quality), but most of them have terrible composition and quality issues.

Dennis…buddy…please post the photos that got rejected. I bet I could give a camera to a 3 year old with “special needs” and it would be 10 times better than the images on that site. If anyone thinks I’m being a jackass or exagerrating, feel free to check it out. there are only 24 photographers at time of posting and one of them puts GUNS ON CARPETS in every image. The photos are all shot with 1994 point-and-shoot cameras or possibly 2004 cell phones.

HILARIOUS.

Hey, guys. I found an up and coming stock site called Abundant Photo. http://www.abundantphoto.com
You can submit as many photos to them as you like for consideration. I signed up and sent in 5. 2 got rejected but the other 3 got accepted. And once they were accepted, they were placed on the site immediately. Plus, you get 50% commission which is pretty cool.

Hi Matthew,

That’s great news – gives us all an extra reason to shoot!

Cheers, Rob.

Hi Steve,

I submitted my pics three at a time, the first few got rejected straight away, but I kept on submitting until I got accepted. Once One gets accepted, you submit two, then one, etc.

Cheers, Rob.

Rob,
I am reviewing my pics to apply to iStock. Did you send your first pics in one-at-a-time? I know they ask for 3 in the beginning, but do I have to send in the 3 together?
Thanks for your help.
BTW, Congrats on the acceptance. I hope what you like to shoot and what sells converges for you.
