As far as a Press Pass, I'll continue to do research. I found a couple of options but I cant vouch for them as I have never used them.
Be cautious before buying anything and please make sure this pases will cover whichever event you wish to photograph.

Some agencies reject photos because of "similar images". Some doesn't accept photos of currencies. Some doesn't accept photos which includes a text except English...

[@wollertz]

Similar or saturated market yes, currencies are fine as long it is not flat, like a scan, if it’s folded, or only part of it in use then it’s fine with most agencies, I haven’t ran into any that only accept text in English, but then again I only upload in English 🤷‍♂️

[@michaelhayward6097]

Great video - do you ever go back and revisited rejected photos and try and fix them or is it a case of just move on? I don't know if it is just me but if I try and use something Topaz Photo AI to fix issues it definely gets rejected even on first submissions.

[@wollertz]

Thanks!
What I've notices is that the majority of my images form older cameras, Canon 7D, 5D II, (10 year old cameras or better) If I don't use topaz they get rejected for quality issues, but from modern cameras they don't get rejected. If they do, and I know the reason is bogus I resubmit the same file and 9/110 it gets accepted. I have a suspicion it is because of advances in technology and standards have changed a lot over the years.

Great, valuable information! It's definitely better than watching someone run 23 miles on a treadmill.

[@wollertz]

Thanks!
Why would anyone watch someone run on a treadmill? 😂

Hi! Do you suggest any specific dpi parameters for Adobe Stock photos? I'm having trouoble getting my photos accepted because of that. Thanks!

[@wollertz]

I always export at 300dpi, quality 100%, JPEG in sRGB color space

[@knight-market8680]

great helpful video... question: I did some photos of the animals at a local zoo. In your opinion would i need permission from the zoo to put out on stock sites? what about tourist sites like museums, galleries, landmarks?

[@wollertz]

I sell zoo animals all the time, no permission needed, be carful with signs and people tho, but even then you vivan sell editorial images of people watching the wildlife, some of my best sellers are like this. As far as museums and galleries, usullay they post no cameras, and usullay you would be viewing some one else’s art so it’s not the museums permission you need, it’s the artist. I’ve had agencies ask for property release for ancient rock art 🤣.
I would do editorials of the people entering the museum, people interacting with the art etc, with editorials you don’t need permission 🤷‍♂️

[@wollertz]

And only if allowed, it’s not worth the trouble for a stock photo 🤷‍♂️

[@alknight3974]

@@wollertz thanks.... I am hoping to do my first posts soon of some great zoo animal shots.... Now as for museums etc I was thinking more of the external type shots of the architecture etc. I get your comment on the "inside" exhibit shots... I wasn't planning on that.

[@wollertz]

Perfect!
Outdoor shots of popular buildings tend to sell as editorials
