Taking Stock of Stock Photos
As a photo editor and designer, I always have to ask the question ‘Where do I get the right pictures from?’ Until recently I used the traditional stock photo houses like ‘Getty images’, ‘Corbis’, ‘Jupiter images’, Alamy, etc.
However I decided to explore the microstock world a little and was quite suprised about the quality of the pictures available on microstock. What I see as a problem of microstock sites is that the content of the microsites is very similar – you will find the same pictures on Dreamstime as on Stockxpert, Fotolia etc. I have listed my favourite microstock sites below – the 4 which are the most popular because they have the largest portfolios. I also added some smaller sites which I found interesting.
