Stock Photos

[Frogskit]

Hi.
Has anyone joined any websites to try and sell photos.
I have tried ISTOCKPHOTO twice now, and had 6 photos rejected.
Its a bit of a blow as I generally get good feedback on my photos.
Whats your experiences.

for what its worth I'd avoid micro stock and go for a rights managed agency like alamy.

Did they give you a reason why your images were rejected, its often not a case of good feedback or otherwise, but some technical aspect you don't meet

You can submit a photo of a pimple on your bum to Alamy and provided it meets their technical specs they'll take it.

That's pretty much the case. As long as your pimply bum has no dustspots, you're in

Let's not even get started on noise problems...

Istock are quite picky about the images they accept- even once you pass the test, I still only get about a 50% acceptance rate.
