TotallyPhotos.com: New Perspectives

For designers we have an advanced search engine, free image requests (sent to 500+ photographers) and simple per-image purchasing. Fixed prices allow designers to work within a budget along with the standard features of lightboxes, unwatermarked comping images, free repeat downloads, project specific invoicing, etc.

For photographers we use an intelligent indexing system, where a photo indexed on one word (eg "Laptop") will be found via searches on "similar" as well as "inherited" words (eg "Laptops", "Notebooks", "Technology", "Portable", etc). This reduces indexing work and increases sales opportunities. Photographers can subscribe to our image request service to receive image requests directly from purchasers. We offer higher payments than most other microstock sites and believe stongly in helping and supporting both new and existing stock photographers.
