Ok. So having looked through some previous threads on this I can see it's a tricky issue, now don't all shoot me down at once please.........I'm starting a little project for the creative industry called The Picture Pod.com. Before you all switch out let me explain a little.......
I run a small creative agency here in the UK called Pear Tree Design. We're 10 years old, working in the brand development/comms arena. As an end user of these stock sites we have become frustrated with the industry and we thought that rather than sit around and moan about it we'd have a go at bringing something a bit different to you as contributors and our fellow creatives. Enter The Picture Pod.com
In brief. A high quality stock site
for creatives
by creatives.....
No credits required.
Single price point split 50/50 with photographers. (20GBP)
Very fast search for customers.
One hi res file to download.
Your fees sent to you on your request at any time electronically.
Bulk upload tool, (or send them to us on wetransfer.com and we will do it for you for the first 3 months.)
Marketed direct to creatives initially here in the UK, then further afield.
We are committed to having a positive impact on those around us and creating opportunity for people to develop.
No nonsense. The overall mission is to make this simple, simple, simple and fast fast and faster for a customer.
Creatives are in and out in no time at all, nothing to distract buyers, just a clean simple interface, and hopefully creatives finding what they need sharpish.
We ask for 3 shots for us to approve and that's it.
If you would like to be part of something we think, and hope, will be a little bit different then we would be very keen to hear from you at
