Send us at least 500 and up to 1000 images per submission.
Please submit one city view per submission (ex. a single room, window or balcony).
Title your submission with the following structure: [city name]
Images for this mission don’t require a release, metadata or post- processing.
Images submitted to Missions should NOT be currently on Adobe Stock. Submitting images that already exist on Adobe Stock will be rejected during the moderation process and contributors won’t be compensated for such submissions.
You will receive the payment displayed in the Adobe Stock Contributor Portal for each accepted Mission submission. Please note, you will receive that total amount for each accepted Mission submission of 500-1000 assets.
Subject Guidance
We are open to any major city in the world with recognizable landmarks and skylines.
Make sure your images DO NOT include people, editorial, brands, company logos, billboards, etc.
Please do not include any composites where you digitally add in cityscapes.
Lighting
Submit photos taken at all times of the day or night with lights on and off.
Aim for natural lighting and colors that are true to life, which include embracing different light depending on the season.
Avoid using filters or effects to manipulate the images.
Crop + Perspective
Similar pictures within a series are ok, but submitted pictures cannot be exact duplicates of one another. We expect each picture in a series to provide different information, so consider varying pictures as follows:
Photograph the same window/city view with different crops and positions: medium, wide, extreme wide angles.
Variations straight on, 45-degree angles, 90-degree angles, etc.
Height variations: From below, from above, etc.
Aspect ratios: Shoot both vertically and horizontally for each submission.
Frame each image with an element of an interior (curtain, window frame, balcony, living room, desk, couch, etc.)
We will only accept cityscapes that also show interiors; submissions that include cityscapes alone will not be accepted.
