Finally 2016 has passed away!

It was a year of big changes.

I've ended work with local brands and was on 100% freelance for a whole year.
Also i've dumped Canon gear for Nikon.
I've increased number of photo shoots so i'd like to share some photos.

Updates on my site QPEL.net

Finally i finished work on coding micro photoblog for my personal site.

Problem is that different policy to accept images made my portfolio differ from one agency to another.
The solution i found is to show my regular customer all images i upload to microstock agencies, no matter where they were accepted.

Also i updated my Portfolio with new images and Personal Work page with new projects

P.S.

blog will keep only last 10 uploads.
links to microstock agencies i work with you can find in about section.
sorry for annoying logo watermark

Become Shutterstock contributor is easier now

As the Shutterstock artist community grows, Shutterstock is constantly looking for ways to better support, educate and empower their contributors to become successful in their marketplace. Just within this past year they launched a contributor support center and relaunched their contributor forum on a more dynamic and user-friendly platform.

As the next step in improving the contributor experience Shutterstock decided to simplify the sign-up and onboarding process by changing the requirement from 7 to 1 out of 10 images accepted for initial submission. Shutterstock found that the "7 out of 10" rule is no longer an effective standard to evaluate if a contributor can be successful in our marketplace. Shutterstock know that they can better educate and support their contributors once they are active on Shutterstock platform and have access to their many resources and support tools.

As always, Shutterstock will continue to evaluate all images they receive per their standards. This change will simplify the sign up process for any artist interested in joining the Shutterstock community and will improve the overall contributor experience!

You have a great collection of photos?

Become Shutterstock contributor NOW!

Good luck to all new Shutterstock contributors,
and many sales!

Weekend in Romania

Last weekend I was hiking in Romanian mountains.
Here are some photos:

You can already find some on Shutterstock to download in high resolution.
in few weeks I'll be submitting other stuff from this trip to Romania to Fotolia and other photostock agencies, until i have enough photos to write a photo report.
