   Quality. This is one of the most important aspects of stock photography. In order for your photograph to be approved it must be a high quality photograph. This means bright colors, high contrast, focus, justification, etc. The photo must be marketable. Don’t bother submitting anything you would not like to see hanging on your wall.

   Categories must be defined as a way for consumers to browse photographs for the ones they want. Make sure to accurately categorize your photo. Ex. The picture of your cat is not going to be so wonderful that it will sell from the electronics category. This type of categorization can also lead to the photos rejection.
