cheers =)
yeah no probs I could have a look at them towards the end of the week if you like... let me know and I'll sitemail you my email address.... if it helps any, here's a link to the 7 which made it from my initial batch: http://www.shutterstock.com/gallery.mhtml?id=353383
7 sales on my first day meaning its already my top earner in the very short time I've been doing all this... seems worth the effort persisting to get on there for sure... and I also got accepted at iStockPhoto today which seems fairly similar to Shutterstock, i.e. a market leader and fairly low prices..
it may just be down to what each collection has plenty of already, but almost all the files making sales on one site have been rejected from one of more others in my case...which I think goes to show that exclusivity with any one site would be a foolish move.
it's all very interesting though, and definitely requires a different mental approach to shooting when you know the photo's final destination is stock....
out of interest when did you register with your first agency Christo?
