I hope their upload and approval system does not change. I always liked BS and the way they handled the new files coming in

Hi kenliu,

For now, continue to upload to both agencies, as Shutterstock and BigStockPhoto will remain separate entities.

Great Jon... I love the idea of being the part of it and,moreover,that there is being formed something to stop growing microstock power of one "G" company...

Congratulations!

For those of us who are not on BSP - would it make sense to start uploading our images there, or will you eventually copy them there?


No immediate plans - so best to upload to both. We'll make sure to make it worth your while :)

I have been uploading to BSP for almost a year - but very rarely because it wasn't a well-selling site and I didn't consider it worth my efforts. I liked BSP as such however all the time. Now, I am glad the SS has acquired it because it opens new perspectives for both - BSP and me.

Interesting, since several of my photos rejected here were accepted by BigStock. Wonder if everything I have over there will be re-reviewed?

This is excellent news and can only be for the better. So far for me BigStock has always been at the bottom for DLs but the submission system is fast and easy (like SS) so I figured for the small additional time it was worth the effort even though DLs are few. With the acquisition by SS I have high hopes that BigStock will move up - way to go!

I don't have an account with BS. If I get one can I use Past SS Model Releases for Big Stock?

Great move SS. I've given up on BigStock but kept the account open, so I'm going to very busy submitting to SS and BS from now on.

Congratulations and wishing you loads of business.
