Hi-ho,

Interesting....

In any case, my quest to become a getty girl is stillborn, I've not had a responce to two emails sent to the contact email for asia/pacific. I might call their local office and see if I can get rejected in person. :-).

Cheers, Me.

Heres a little something else about Getty and their accepted files at the Rob Galbraith Forums. Seems to me that if all else fails, use a fairly good program to uprez, and then strip out your EXIF so they'll never know what you shot with :)

I think you have a great selection of photos, however using the site was very slow. Is there anyway to reduce the sizes to have a quicker loading time?

Sorry, missed this post. I know they load slowly, but the requirements for application asked for LARGE (if not full-sized) images for them to review.

BTW, still no word from Getty, its been 3 weeks and a couple of days.

Their weed-out process is patience. Hold strong.

Oooooooooooooooookay! After almost TWO MONTHS!!!.... I got this email today:

Dear Cindi,

Atleast I tried! Perhaps I'll try again, but not right away. I need to work on portfolio it seems! :) On a better note, got my first L-glass today (70-200 F4) :)

That's right.

I looked at their site: Crap. All crap. They're not good enough for your work, you would have brought them to a level they couldn't maintain.

oh-
Have fun with your new glass :)

Getty's very, very hard to get into. Don't take it personally. At least you tried, more than I've done.

2 Years and 2 months later.... it has happend. I'm accepted. :D

I reapplied a few months ago. Application process is still slow plus I made an error and sent them a couple of images that are on Alamy. They checked and while accepted my application, insisted on a 2nd set of application images. I've sent them, they were accepted. I now have access to the contributor area... its like the exectutive wash room! They have french soap! :D

Edited poor grammar.

I thought you said fresh soap. Personally, I've always hated using old soap.
