They want to pinch my pictures
Why after paying for a years subscription do they have the cheek in accessing my private pictures before allowing me to download one of their pictures.
Best stock of photos around
Love this site, I don’t use anything else💜
Misleading App - none of the content is free!!
Falsely advertised app which requires you to purchase content. Nothing is free and it forces you to make an account in order to find this out. Completely illegal. Avoid!!!
Unreal images
This is by far the best image sight
Poor judgement
Nothing wrong with the app but greedy company. With 5 days notice, they cut contributors pay to $0.10 per image. They did so in the middle of the pandemic too!!! For longtime contributors who have spent years building portfolio to go up the payment ladder, the selfishness is beyond words!
Buyers buy from somewhere else
We contributors got just a 70% pay cut and can’t even pay our bills anymore.
You pay hardworking professional photographers a couple cents??
A couple cents for hard work, uploading, a trained eye, a lifetime of education, tens of thousands of dollars in equipment that constantly needs to be updated and maintained, countless hours of editing, uploading, keywords, categorizing, and descriptions. Someone in this equation is very very greedy and taking what little bit of food in the best of times could be bought with the already low prices you paid out only to be slashed by 60% or more.. There is a big movement with all the photographers to contact all the photo buyers to explain our position of how we are being taken advantage of.. I have 15 years experience and over 3000 pictures on Shutterstock, thousand of hours spent getting my pictures on Shutterstock and I would have made more money today picking up a bottle off the road and getting the deposit on it.

Do not touch this
This company have decided to kick the most loyal contributor base in the teeth by revising their derisory payment terms such that the long term contributor is severely disadvantaged. Do you want to support a company which now has so little empathy for those that have contributed to its success?
Greed, shameless
This is a company that is taking in free content that they put zero money or effort into creating, editing, keywording, etc. and is now giving themselves a raise to an 85% commission. This leaves a pittance of 15% for the creators.
The shutterstock head office is located in lavish, opulent space the Empire State Building, among the most expensive real estate in the planet. The new ceo is pulling in over a million a year in salary and bonuses. What they are doing to the longtime, loyal contributors that have come to rely on the income generated from years of hard work is inexcusable and they should be ashamed of themselves.
Please consider Adobe, Alamy or Pond5 for your stock media purchases. They are the more “fair trade” of the options out there and you will be supporting the independent artists that need it, now more than ever. Thank you.

Shitterstock
Starting June 1st, shutterstock cut artists earnings from $0.38 to $0.1 saying this is for good of the artists, when in fact many of the contributors will be pushed in poverty, because for most it was main income. This is immoral and unethical especially now, when is almost impossible to find new job to stay afloat. Shame on you Shutterstock!
