I wonder why my Adobe stock photo submissions got rejected 50%? I’m a graphic designer and hobbyist photographer who enjoys capturing travel and landscape scenes. I share only the best of my work—images I believe have commercial potential—after carefully editing them to meet professional standards. And I didn't use AI generated content. As of now, I’ve uploaded 721 photos, illustrations, and vectors to my portfolio. However, I’ve also received 524 rejections while these rejected photos are accepted in other stock sites. This means, statistically, about half of my submissions are declined. In some cases, I can’t even find my accepted photos through search—even when using the exact title and precise keywords. This experience makes me question whether there might be a bias or disparity in how contributors from certain countries are evaluated. I assume Adobe see my photos require more professional treatment and doesn't meet as their commercial standard. Photography, especially travel-based, demands real effort, time, and financial commit
