Today, MostPhotos.com has unveiled a radical new approach to the way traditional stock photo companies do business. MostPhotos.com is now allowing anyone, not just professional photographers, to submit photos. They have also added a democratic approach to stock photos. They are now letting the members and users decide which photos are good or otherwise. It's a democratic approach to a very old concept.
"With today's cameras, just about anyone can take a great picture that sells. All is needed is a camera and some imagination. Regular people have hundreds, sometimes thousands of photos stored on their hard drives. These photos are worth a lot of money. Our dream at MostPhotos.com is to help people understand this lucrative venture and introduce their work to photo buyers around the world," explained Arian Bharami, founder and CEO of MostPhotos.com.
"We use the latest technology to decide which photos will rank high and low, a bit like Google but with photo searching. Our system can also show users related images in the same category, giving buyers the fastest and easiest search possible," remarked Michael Lindfors, project manager.
There are currently 300,000 photos available at MostPhotos.com and they are growing at the rate of about 1000-1500 images a day. At this rate, the company will be within the top 10 largest stock photo sites very soon.
All photos are sold in high resolution. The minimum size is 4mpx but most of the photos are more than 10mpx. All images are royalty-free and cost 25€ each. The photographer can set the price for exclusive buyout of the image (the buyer owns exclusive rights to the photo).
