I've just get e letter from a photographer girl. She complains that wanted to register as my referral, but it is no Russia (or Russian Federation) in the list of countries on register page.
Is it a Bug? |

Certain countries have to send in their portfolios before we will accept them as photographers.
They can contact submit@shutterstock.com |

Because of widespread corruption & other problems that are (unfortunately) rife in certain parts of the world...
It's the usual story of the few spoiling things for the many... |

We will still allow photographers from anywhere in world -- after communicating with them and understand their portfolio is 100% theirs.

you know... like the old saying that 99% of the lawyers is giving the rest a bad name ;-D
it's a shame that it happened. Don't see it as discrimination, see it as "preventative maintenance" and in the end it protects you just as much as your friends and referrals! |

Another site says 'We may need to contact you before you can submit photographs' - which left one of my friends sitting there for several weeks waiting to be contacted - then he asked how long it takes, and I mentioned I just went right ahead and FTP'd a stack of files and got on with it - I guess their 'clause' covers some of those countries with issues...
Cheers,

O.K. I get the message from you and sent the reply.
At least there no problem with Russia. Hope, it was the last and the final manifestation of the Cold War (joke :-)) |
