Digital Photography

If you are interested in selling stock photos at agencies, one of the first hurdles you will face is getting the images you submit approved for sale by those agencies. Different agencies will have different criteria by which they judge your photos, of course, but here are a few tips to help get your photos approved with most stock photo agencies:

1) Submit photos with an image resolution of at least 5 mega pixels. Better quality photos can be used for more applications, so you should shoot the photos you plan on submitting to stock photo agencies at a high resolution.

2) Do not submit too many photos at once. Keep the total number of photographs you submit at once to less than 50. Remember, a real human will be reviewing each and every photograph, and they are more likely to reject your photos if they feel like you are spamming the submission system.

3) Attach appropriate keyword tags, but not too many. Keywords are very important for the photos being found by prospective buyers, but too many keywords will look like spam and raise the probability of their being rejected.

4) Edit the images as little as possible. Using Adobe Photoshop or other applications to “improve” the photographs actually decreases the overall quality of the photo, so use these applications as little as possible. Instead, aim to take good photos that do not need editing later.

5) Submit quality photos. Get the light right, make sure they are in focus, use a tripod if necessary. Learn the basics of digital photography to make sure your photos are as good as they can be!
