Crestock, finally

Another microstock agency I’d been attempting is Crestock. I signed up in mid-October. I’ve been submitting photos since then and finally, on March 27th or 28th, one image was finally accepted. I’ll be honest here; it took nearly 90 rejections to finally have this image accepted:

I had thought several times to just give up on Crestock. The images I submitted have been accepted by other agencies, and some have even sold a couple of times on these other sites. However, Crestock prides itself on its high quality standards. They even reiterate it each time you submit a photo. For the most part, perhaps it’s true. However, there are some photos on the site that I’m surprised passed inspection. Not that my images are spectacular. I’m still learning what it takes for stock photography. Anyway, if I hadn’t had most of my images accepted at other agencies, I may have given up. But, I’ve rolled with the rejections and am trying to improve my photography through them.
We’ll see how long it takes me to have my second image accepted. Here’s my Crestock profile. And of course, you can sign up with Crestock yourself and give it a try. By the way, all the Crestock links in this post include my referral code. And for more information about Crestock, and the microstock industry in general, I point you to Microstockdiaries and/or MicrostockInsider.
