Yes, unless they are too similar to images that have been previously accepted to Unsplash+.

Whether any content is considered “similar” shall be determined by Unsplash, in its sole reasonable discretion based on established internal guidelines. For transparency, an image may be deemed a “similar” if it is visually similar to any Licensed Content in two or more of the following categories: (i) models(s), meaning the human talent in the content; (ii) location, meaning the physical location or surroundings featured in the content; or (iii) wardrobe, meaning the clothing and accessories worn or used by the model(s) in the content.
