@wollertz Can you do it for me?

[@wollertz]

@@ChooseAdventureCaliforniaStyle unfortunately you have to provide all of your information and shipping address, I don't have access to all of that

[@ChooseAdventureCaliforniaStyle]

@@wollertz That sounds like a lot of work... 🤷‍♂️

[@wollertz]

@ For me it would be, for you it should be easy

Charles - great idea! Nice changes to the competition - well done. Just a couple of questions.... 1 - I have a shot that I took many years ago that may be really good for this competition. Can I use that, or does it have to be something recently shot? 2 - Do you want us to get model releases from the subjects (as I am sure that they are required for stock agencies)? Thank you for doing this. It is great fun.

[@wollertz]

I'm glad you are enjoying the series! I do have it in the official rules that the wining photo must be from 2025. I'm not requiring model releases since as I am not selling anything, but I would definitely recommend getting the releases to maximize your sales. My goal is for everyone to generate more sales, the prize is the motivation 😅

Alright! Round two here I come! I'm so excited about this. I do have a question, though. I have a couple of friends who would like to enter, but they only have their phones to take pictures with. I also have to download my photos from my camera to my phone as i don't have a computer, so all the files we would have would be jpeg. How would we prove we're not cheating with an AI image? Thank you

[@wollertz]

Fantastic! everyone is welcome to join! All photos have metadata, the only time that can be deleted is with sofware like photoshop, so as long as I can see your settings, and camera that the image came from , I can consider it a real photo, now if you plan to do something that looks incredibly manipulated then I will need more proof, like a video of the set up 🤷‍♂️

[@jujubinks9709]

@wollertz okay, I'll let them know. Thank you!

Unfortunately Brazil does not participate

[@wollertz]

That is unfortunate. I will still encourage you to participate and upload your photos for stock, practice, some extra cash and a bit of fun can’t hurt 🤷‍♂️

[@JaniceNotJanis]

What about Dia das Mães themed photos?

[@wollertz]

@ Absolutely!

[@PritamroyChowdhury-l2i]

Hey sir can I sell statue of gods as commercial and can I sell hand made wooden toys as editorial

[@wollertz]

That depends on the toys, they statue and the agencies. its not a yes and no answer

[@PritamroyChowdhury-l2i]

@@wollertz ok so what about Shutterstock for this

[@wollertz]

It depends on the statue and products, try as commercial first. If they reject it try again as editorial

[@PritamroyChowdhury-l2i]
