Work that is submitted must be of professional quality, and Braveart will evaluate each upload. Each image uploaded to our site has to go through an approval/rejection process to ensure the best quality to our buyers. Would you like to know what we look for in each image? When you go through this list, you will get fewer images rejected and more to display to our buyers. Just remember your keywords, (Link keywords to the KEYWORDS blog post), and voila, you are ready to start selling!
- Quality. Please upload images to the best quality you can. Our minimum standard for images is set on 1600px x 2400px. ANY size larger than this is welcome on our site. Any image smaller than this will not even go further with the approval process.
- Sharpness. Please make sure when you zoom in at 100% on your image, that it is crystal sharp with no movement or blur on the image. Sharpness is essential to excellent stock photography to ensure a premium quality image that can be used for a variety of ideas and lay-outs.
- Lastly, make sure you know your composition rules! Great photography is only great when you make great use of the proper composition. That is what photography is all about.
Now all that is left to do is to start shooting and uploading!

Other factors to consider:
Before submitting your images, make sure to see them at full capacity (100%). Use software
like Photoshop, Lightroom, or Windows Viewer to view the pictures and look for the following common issues.
- The subject of your image should be in sharp focus when the image is at full resolution.
- Images should be free of excessive luminance and colour noise, which is usually caused by using a high ISO setting (i.e., ISO 800 or ISO 1600).
- Avoid JPEG Compression Artifacts
- Avoid the Overuse of Noise Reduction Software and Sharpening
- avoid chromatic aberration by using high-quality lenses or remove it in post-production.
- Be sure to clean your sensor and lens before shooting, or remove any dirt or spots by cloning them out in post-production.
- Remove watermarks, date stamps, signatures, or any other form of personal branding from your image
- All images of identifiable people must accompany by a model release form provided on this site.
- Be sure to start thinking about your keywords.
- Remove all Logos, Company Names, and Brands
- Only Submit Work to Which You Own the Copyright
