What is wrong with the reviewing criteria?

There’s a misconception on what makes a photo successful for stock use. 

I don't think that giving you advice or opinions on the composition or exposure on these photos will make a difference in acceptance, so I’ll focus on a bigger picture.

Advertisers have long relied on people in images because potential customers can identify with or aspire to the person shown. Research suggests featuring humans, especially faces, in photos builds trust and emotional connection with viewers. It’s really that simple.

Shooting people requires planning and experience, and I understand if you are not ready at this point.

It doesn't mean that you can only make money with people, in fact 95% of the work I’m selling lacks human elements, but illustrates scenes that are in demand by buyers.

Do you see how your photos lack interest? I have truly amazing sunrises that have not sold once, but I have learned that’s not bc the photo is not good enough.

Idk for a fact, but I can see a moderator reviewing your work and choosing  not pay close attention to find a gem… and I bet it’s in the hundreds, and what often it makes us feel like they aren't really paying attention.  

I’m sure you know Adobe has a lot of material that will guide you on how to succeed… and yes it’s a lot.

And not everyone is in the same place of knowledge and experience, and advice needs to be tailored individually.

I’ve been a professional photographer for over 35 years, with a lot to share and I will gladly make time to listen to your knowledge interests and goals, that I believe will help you improve with your photography and stock experience.   

I make this offer to you or anyone interested.  Send me a DM if you’d like to chat a bit more in detail and don’t hesitate thinking I’m going to sell you something. I AM NOT!  This is not an offer for a random conversation when you’d like, we will have to put it in the calendar for when we both can commit to it.

The most valuable advice I can give you is that you will need to make a commitment with yourself to make this work. 

Happy Sunday!
