As a photographer, I have experience taking pictures of sports events. If you're like me, I can't get a model to sign, how can I register for Adobe Stock?

I can't get a model to sign


By @용덕5FBC

If you take pictures of people, get a model release. If you do not get a model release, forget about it.

 

As a side note: Stock photography does not allow for sponsor logos!

Hi @용덕5FBC ,

They can only be sold as editorial assets. Adobe has their selected team who provide images for that category. If you want to sell your assets, you'll need to register with other platforms that accepts editorial assets from the entire photographer's community. 

Best wishes

Adobe is not accepting Editorial images that include people.

 

Here's what the Help page on this topic says:

For illustrative editorial, we don’t accept:

  • Images that feature recognizable people 
  • Images of restricted events such as conventions and sports games
  • Images that feature tight crops of copyrighted or trademarked material, such as stamps, fine art, or other content that may violate privacy rights
  • Digitally created or manipulated versions of trademarked logos or other brand content — other than social media icons

You can set up an Adobe stock contributor account and sell other types of photography; but you will never get images that include recognizable people accepted unless you have model releases for each person in the image. Under intellectual property laws, you cannot make commercial use of people images without their express, written approval.

Additionaly, some sporting events also require that you have rights to commercialy photograph their event.
