Hi, I will be as soon as possible. I have a huge passion for In-game photography, and I would like to know if it is possible to sell these photos, if so, even what I can show.

Thanks

Correct answer Mat Hayward

If you created the game and own the copyright to all elements in the image then it may be acceptable with a property release provided the quality standards at Adobe Stock are met. If however, you are in a game that was created by someone else, the answer is no. 

 

Kind regards,

You STILL can't make money by selling a stock picture of some else's IP.

By In-Game Photography, I assume you mean taking screenshots while you're playing video games made by someone else?  If so, that would be an emphatic NO.  That's not what Stock Photography is about.


Adobe Stock customers come here expecting  highest quality professional images for use in commercial projects like brochures, posters, online and video advertising, documentaries, merchandise (coffee mugs, t-shirts, calendars, etc...).  Stock photographers have to cover a wide variety of subjects and interests to make steady sales commissions.    Please read the Stock Contributor User Guide for more details.

You cannot include anyone else's IP in what you sell.
