Hi everyone,

Some friends of mine work in marketing and have a few pain points when using sites like Getty. They find themselves struggling to search, spending lots of time finding the suitable image (or set of images) for commercial and marketing campaigns.

I was wondering if as contributors, you would all use a service that acts like a marketplace, where designers and marketers post jobs (including things like type of photo, photo criteria, budget per photo) and contributors submit photo ideas. If the buyer likes them, they purchase them in the same way as on stock photo sites such as Getty.

***EDIT***
A number of very helpful responses have highlighted the issues with platforms like Snappr that aim to provide photography services on demand. This is different to the proposed idea. In the proposed idea, contributors do not shoot on demand but rather select photos from an existing portfolio (or from others' portfolios too) and submit groups of photos to the buyer, the buyer chooses which ones they like best (mixing and matching) and then photos are purchased a la microstock websites.
***EDIT***

Other feedback on the idea generally is more than welcome!!! Thanks guys.
