Question

Premium photos

Hello,

Many images from Premium are really good, however, there are also surprisingly many weak images that are marketed Premium!

I have uploaded an example here, in the image search in Premium there were 3 images, these I compare here with my, also offered at Adobe Stock images.

My question:
Why do my images have no chance to get into the premium sector, other providers get into the premium sector with worse images?

In the premium sector the best images should be able to be offered!

I wonder, how are the premium images selected?

Please create the opportunity to apply for the premium sector with outstanding top photos, i.e. photos that deserve it, for mutual benefit!

Respond please!!! So the cooperation makes no sense for me anymore!!!

With many greetings,

Jürgen Kottmann

We, your efellow Contributors, are not able to advise how to get invited to be a Premium Contributor. You say that "cooperation makes no sense for me anymore". What has changed since you initially agreed to be a Contributor  ?

At the beginning of my cooperation with Adobe Stock, I did not realize that even the best and highest quality images in the highest resolution are partly given away by Adobe and sold at extremely low prices!
For very many of my pictures, partly photographed with high effort and best technology, I get 0.36€.
Ultimately, this is for me only a loss business!

I have no idea why Adobe sells very good photos so far below value!

Wenn Du Deine Bilder bei Shutterstock einstellst, bekommst Du 10 Cents/verkauftes Bild, hier gibst minimal 33 Cents. In der Regel gibt es 33% des Einzelbildpreises.

Es ist eben alles eine Frage der Perspektive. Ich mache kaum Bilder exklusiv für Stock.

Adobe curates premium collection content from select sources only.  We do not know what criteria they use.  It could be based on sales volume, reputation or some other factors. We just don't know.

For now, the collections of premium images come from a relatively small group of artists and agencies by invitation only. 

Contributing to Premium and 3D collections at Adobe Stock

If you only have a portfolio in the standard collection, you won’t see price tiers when you submit files.
