I'm just getting started with stock photography and videos. We do not do a lot of editorial because we know a lot of people do not like to be photographed. We get a release from anyone who's the subject of the photo. It's so good to offer to take the picture in advance and let them know what we can do for them. We give the person 25% of what we get when we can get a mobile number for them. I'm in Nepal and so many of these people really can use $25 or so. They often cannot sign their own name so we bring an ink pad for a thumbprint.

The most weirdest photo i had downloaded was a isolated photo of my Iphone 6 witch sold twice for 25c each. But there's too many photos of iphones on shutterstock. also this has nothing to do with it but i took your advice from this video and took some photos of stuff that there isn't too many of. If there's too many saturated photos of one thing then i don't take them photos.

Interesting. I remember seeing a while back that my town of 100k had almost no photos or videos on stock footage sites and the ones that were actually there being pretty underwhelming. I figured there probably just wasn't a lot of demand for them but now I know that those hyperspecific photos can fill a unique niche which can be lucrative. Other people always say that you should be more like the competition but these cases prove the opposite can also be true. Although I obviously don't know the real rate at which your weird photos get downloaded.

You agree to keep Confidential Information confidential and to not disclose Confidential Information to any third party other than representatives, agents, attorneys, accountants, auditors and advisors with a bona fide need to know, who shall first agree to keep the terms confidential."

Some of the people who work at Shutterstock know about my channel and they don't seem to have any problems with what I've shared in the past. Anyway, I'm not sure if that's any help or not.. it's sort of a grey area, but I definitely don't think you're going to get in any sort of trouble.

Jakub Bielicki You could upload the b/w and a color version, I suppose, but you’d really have to know how to process in post. In other words, there’s a lot more to it than just concerting it to greyscale. I use Bridge and Photoshop; I shoot in RAW. Others use Lightroom (I’ve never worked in Lightroom, but if I were to use it, personally I’d only use it to manage my workflow.) But having a video from Nicole about post processing would be helpful, especially as there’s not just one way to edit photos. Either way though, I’d recommend taking a class, especially if you’re going to work in Bridge and Photoshop.

Hello Nicole! Love your channel. I was wondering, when uploading an illustrative editorial photo, do you click editorial AND illustration when you upload or just one or the other?
@NicoleGlass5 жыл бұрын
Submit it as an "editorial" image and then write "illustrative editorial" as one of the keywords.

Can you share you export settings for stocks photos to be uploaded to stock sites?

I stubbed my toe recently and I was inspired by this video to capture it. Don't worry though my toe is in much worse shape! Much much worse!!

I uploaded 50 of my backlog photos to Shutterstock four months ago to test the waters and see of the stock game was viable. I've had 17 photo uses, 11 of which were the same photo of a Japanese garden waterfall and the rest were all one of uses. Only one of the photos downloaded was editorial.

Not bad for 50 photos! Yeah, it might take a while to take off but eventually the earnings can add up. Good luck!

New subscriber here after watching a few of your informative videos. This one is no different. It’s like practically anything is game; just need to wrap my head around that. I uploaded 10 images couple years ago and have earned .75. Haha. Thanks for the great info!

LOL...An email friend in the UK just sent me a note saying that she accidentally ran a sewing machine needle through a finger last night. I immediately thought of you, and told her she should have taken a photo. : ) ... Dang, that had to hurt!

Oh my, I hope your friend is ok! Yes, that would have been a great picture. Especially if you get an action shot of the injured finger next to the sewing machine.

I've only sold three drone videos and all three were ones I thought would never sell. What I consider to be my best stuff has been viewed, but never downloaded. I've kind of specialized in sunrises with video and HDR pictures, but I know I need to move away from that if I ever want to make anything with stock.
@demofactory5 жыл бұрын
That's interesting that your drone shot video was even accepted by Shutter Stock.I thought that photos and videos with Copyrighted logos were prohibited by stock agencies. Did you have owner consent to use it?

Did you look at my pinned comment? Most of my content is editorial.
@demofactory5 жыл бұрын
I'm sorry. I wasn't pointing fingers. I was asking what I thought was a legitimate question, since I've seen increasing amounts of ShutterStock content with clearly visible branding. I learn by asking questions, which you invited us to do. I guess with time, the line between commercial and editorial has blurred. Getting snarky with your response wasn't necessary, but I'll play. I'll be sure to look elsewhere for my information in the future. You may be good at photography, but public relations... not so much. Best of luck to you friend.

@@demofactory I'm sorry but I've gotten this question over 2,000 times and have pinned the answer at the bottom of every Shutterstock video because I honestly don't have enough hours in the day to retype the answer a few dozen times every day. I even made a video to answer this exact question. My response was not intended to be rude, it was just intended to point you to the answer instead of typing it out again. For some reason you perceived it as being rude, but look at my other comments and you'll see that I put a lot of effort to genuinely respond to other questions for which I have not made a video response.
@demofactory5 жыл бұрын
How am I supposed to know how many times you've been asked a question? You didn't exactly point me to the video you said you made answering that question either. Why would I go looking for things that I have no idea would exist in the first place? You say you're sorry, but it sounds like you're mostly just trying to rationalize a snobbish and piss poor attitude on your end. No need to write me again dear. I'm un-subbed and have moved on. Good luck to you. Suggestion though: If you get the same question over and over, just write the answer once, save it on your desktop, and paste it wherever you need it. You're working too hard, and thinking about it too much. Relax. Take a warm bath with a nice cup of tea... or something.

My highest paying shot was of a thunderstorm. The shot though was nothing special; I was basically practicing taking lightening shots. Thought "what the heck" and popped it on Shutterstock. I have sold the photo several times but highest I got was $43. I also sold a picture of an old run down house in the country I edited in Photoshop to look like it's on old crinkled paper. I got $25 for that one.

The weirdest photo (0,25$): I was bored and I shot a photo of the shadow of my hand with my iPhone in it. Someone from Paris bought it. The most money (80$) for one picture I got with a photo of a US Army Black Hawk... I mean I shot this photo in Austria and someone from the US bought it... WHY?! Don‘t you have thousands of those over there...?😇
