Why My Photos Were Rejected?

Hi,

I uploaded my photos of Istanbul Airport corridors. There were no logos, no people (not recognizable people, just no people around) or anything else that I think maybe a refusal reason. But Adobe Stock has rejected them with the "Intellectual Property Refusal" message. Is Istanbul Airport building is a copyrighted object? Or is it because it is a modern architecture, that requires release? (Adobe Stock mentioned it as "Modern architecture with unique building structures requires a release when it's the main focus of the image.")

The photos were accepted on some other stock agencies that I also submit, and if it were rejected, it was rejected because of noises or film grains (Shutterstock for example).

I hope for some useful answers, so I should aware when I upload other photos in the future.

Thanks.

It's an airport, so it is property that is owned, hence needing a property release. Adobe may be more picky and careful about these sorts of issues than other stock sites. It would also come under modern architecture.

It's bad to know that Adobe Stock doesn't accept editorial images. I met the Mat 😊

So I should be pickier when I upload to Adobe Stock. Thanks for the help.
