IMAGE CATALOG – PHOTO HANDBOOK

About The Handbook

Image Catalog has prepared this handbook with some insight as to why images may not be accepted, and to help you with your photography skills.

If you are newer to the world of photography, we welcome you to review the handbook to help improve your photography skills.

Keep in mind that not all professional photographers take perfect photos every single time, and not all beginners take less than satisfactory photos all the time. Image Catalog will accept photo images from anyone, beginner or pro, as long as the image LOOKS professional.

Please also be considerate of our reviewers time. Review your images before you upload them. If you continue to upload weak photos that are continuously rejected, you may find it harder to have your images selected. Look around the site to see what images are already on the site. Does your image look like the same quality? If not, you may want to re-consider before you hit the “upload” button.
