Help with photos not accepted due to quality

Hi,

I have done a session with my model studying at dusk and at night in a room, so the images don't have too much light, and have been rejected with the following explanation: "Common problems that can affect the technical quality of images include exposure problems, artistic flou, excessive filtering or artifacts/noise."

These photos were accepted in other agencies that are known to be very restrictive with no problems. I find the photos are not overedited, they don't have noise and the luminosity of the scene is the corresponding one to the idea I want to transmit.

Thank you in advance!

IMG_3054-Editar.jpg - underexposed shadows and overexposed highlights. Her hand/arm are the brightest and most noticeable part of the image.

IMG_3076-Editar.jpg - similar issues here. The hands, which are presumably the focal point of the frame, are not in sharp focus.

IMG_3048-Editar.jpg - underexposed shadows. The large book should have been removed from the foreground.

IMG_3141-Editar.jpg - harsh lighting creates unattractive shadows in her face

You should always get the best light to your model.

they don't have noise

Sorry, but they have noise:

I have also experimented with low light situations, and my results (not intended for stock) are not conclusive. But for stock, you should use other methods to give the night impression. A clock would help, a lightsource would help.

Adobe Stock is not other services. Stock have higher acceptance standards because their customers expect top quality assets for use in commercial projects.

Even exposure, good lighting, neutral white balance & proper focus are essential.

Compare your work with other stock inventory.

Thank you very much.

The other stock service that accepted them was ShutterStock, which has a background of accepting me lees photos than Adobe, thats why it shocked me.

After having a look at your suggestions I have a doubt. What should I change if I want to make a low light scenario of a model studing at nigth?

The low light atmosphere is already in my pics, and the quality I would say its not that bad.

Thank you again.

Best,

Dani.

Little known fact: Most nighttime scenes in movies and television are actually shot in full daylight. Why? Because it's simpler to subtract light from a well-lit scene than it is to create something from nothing in post-production.

The same techniques can be applied to still photos in Photoshop or Camera Raw, giving you greater control over light/shadow and exactly where adjustments are applied.
