I was interested in submitting photos to Shutterstock.com thanks to the thread about stock photograhpy & making money... However my question is, how long does it usually take for the photos you submit to be reviewed and accepted to the site?

Usually 1 day up to a week for approval. I usually submit smaller batches -- 2-6 photos -- not a huge amount at once, and it seems to typically take 2-3 days.
If you haven't already signed up with them, you should do it through someone's referrer link, so that they can get a commission on your sales as well -- here's mine if you don't have anyone else in mind:

Possible delay on weekends and holidays.

Thankyou,
I was worried that no one was going to reply, so I signed up for the account and submitted my images. Then I got the answer in the e-mail... Sorry about that... I have a friend who is a photographer too, and If things work out and they do sign up I'll tell them to use your referrer link just for answering me.

I don't think it works after you've registered, but I guess you can ask. Thanks though : )
After you have some photos approved you should post a link to your gallery. Here's mine -- see if you can guess which is the most-frequently downloaded photo. For bonus points see if you can tell which photo was taken by my seven year-old son Isaac, and which were taken while driving on the freeway. : )
Part of the trick in having a high ratio of approved photos is thinking like a graphic designer, and evaluating whether a photo is useful as part of a larger work, and not so much as to whether it has exceptional artistic value on its own. |

| I'm going to go with the pediatric ear or eye exam photos? As for the one by your son, I have no idea yet. I'll have to look harder, many are pretty good. |
