    My most common question, which I have received several thousand times, is "how can I upload photos of people, properties and brands without a release form?" Before asking this question, please watch my video on commercial vs. editorial images! ua-cam.com/video/WyWvDNDB3pg/v-deo.html 🙂

      I've mentioned it before, but I use the app "Easy Release" (costs $10 last I checked) and just have them sign the release on my phone. It e-mails a PDF to both me and them, and then I simply upload that PDF to stock platforms.

    I love your content and your channel. Great job! I have a couple of questions which might be video suggestions. First how did you get the rights to shoot the Washington Post logo inside the The Washington Post building? Maybe you could do a video on how to get signed releases or how to approach the right people for releases? Second could you do another video on the other sites you sell stock images to, and rank them according to how you like interacting with them and your return on investment? Do you ever pay to upload photos for sale? Thanks again for all of your hard work producing shooting and editing.

    • @LeoVogt777
      @LeoVogt777 5 років тому

      I understand editorial content vs commercial content. My question should have been better stated how did you not get kicked out of the lobby when you started taking the photo? I still would like to see a video on getting releases.

    • @NicoleGlass
      @NicoleGlass  5 років тому +1

      Hey Leo, the Washington Post actually hosted a meetup for photographers that I attended... so picture taking was encouraged. And that was uploaded as an editorial, not commercial, image. As for your other questions, I’ll keep them in mind for future videos 😊

  • @anzaeria
    @anzaeria 5 років тому

    Beautiful images as usual. This may sound odd at first but I'm surprised you got away with that photo which features "The Washington Post" text filling the frame. I did read on one of the stock agencies a few years ago (can't remember which one) that for editorial images, you can't have logos or brand names etc filling up a significant portion of the frame / can't have them appearing too large. So Ive always avoided that in my editorial photos.

    • @NicoleGlass
      @NicoleGlass  5 років тому

      Some stock agencies don’t allow that (like adobe), but Shutterstock does. I’ve actually seen a few SS accounts where people literally just photograph and upload storefront logos. It’s okay as long as you upload them as editorial images :)

    Nicole, if Washington Post wants that photo for commercial use what would have to happen? Do they need to grant you a property release and then you can list it as commercial? I've been thinking about it in the context of new power tools being put to good use and selling shots like that to brand owners.

    • @NicoleGlass
      @NicoleGlass  5 років тому +1

      If you sell the photo to the Post itself, then I doubt you need a release form because they own the property. That would be kind of silly and superfluous. If you sell it to someone else then of course you'd need a release form.

For example the straw photo.

    • @NicoleGlass
      @NicoleGlass  5 років тому

      It is definitely a mix. The straws in particular are editorial because they are Starbucks branded. I would recommend that you go to shutterstock.com and type in some keywords and see how other people upload the photos. You can tell if they're editorial or commercial based on the way they write the captions.

    • @NicoleGlass

      It's a mix of both. For example, I met some friends at the cherry blossoms in Washington, D.C. yesterday. Of course, I took photos of the blossoms (which are saturated) for myself and I took photos with friends. But while I was there, I also snapped a few photos of the tourists and the crowds, which I will certainly upload to SS. So I usually have a general idea of what will potentially do well, but I usually don't go out of my way to take the photos - I take them when I am out and doing something already.

    Hi Nicole...When an image is competing with 5,000,000 others of same keyword search, such as ghost town, are search results returned in order of most recent to oldest?
    If so, is it possible to resubmit what is essentially the same photo but tweaked in edit, such as a slight color grading change?
    This could keep the same personal library current.
    I don't see this as 'cheating', as this is a business, and the consumer may not have time to go through 5,000,000 photos for my best image taken 3 years ago buried on page 83 of the returned search results.

    On the topic of other Stock Photography platforms... I've looked around and some seem to have an exclusivity clause for images you upload. That is you can only list a particular stock photo on their site, no cross posting.
    I've looked at Shutterstock and can't recall but thought it might be a useful question for others. Does Shutterstock have this sort of policy?

    How do you manage your storage? Do you shoot RAW or JPEG ?

      @Bitwise Magick That is a perfect explanation, couldn't have said it better! The number of hard drives I have is getting out of control.

      Thanks for the suggestion. I actually have Zenfolio for unlimited storage and it's pretty great. But I have more than 20 TB of photos and videos at this point... with the 4k video files I create, I go through 100 GB in like a week!

    I create artistic images for use as backgrounds and textures, and have noticed that the image sizes uploaded by similar artists are larger, 5000 x 3333 pix as opposed to the lower resolution that my 12.2 MP camera can create. Do you think I need a camera with more MP to be able to complete?

    • @NicoleGlass
      @NicoleGlass  5 років тому +1

      You can definitely upload images with what you have, but of course, the higher quality your images are, the more likely they are to stand out.

      @NicoleGlass  5 років тому

      Hi Kostas, I am not sure what is happening on the back end. When I signed up, I had to fill out a tax form, my PayPal information and submit a photo of my ID. Maybe since you are switching from Blackbox to Shutterstock, you have to fill all that in again. If you are doing everything correctly, try reaching out to Shutterstock for help.

    I know flowers are really saturated. Do you think its a total waste of time to take photos of flowers to upload?

    • @NicoleGlass
      @NicoleGlass  5 років тому +1

      Honestly I think it's probably not worth your efforts. If you have some sort of rare species, or if you're photographing people interacting with the flowers, that would be different. But random photos of tulips and things like that.. probably not where you should put your energy. If you have the photos already it doesn't hurt to put them up, but I wouldn't go out of my way to obtain them.

    Shutterstock has proven to be a pain lately. They rejected a picture because they said it showed a trademark, which they did not explain. They arbitrarily reject, and have become too hard to post with.
