Think Fresh! – Take a look at the new Stock Photo Community Site…
Think Fresh! is the tagline for SnapVillage.com, a new stock photo community site. I received a nifty little fold-out mail piece from these guys the other day and decided to check out the site. SnapVillage is a branch of Corbis, and is in “beta” mode right now (very web 2.0 of you…). I would say that the site is very pleasing to look at, and very easy to navigate – unlike some stock photo sites that become a nightmare when searching. It works very similar to a blog, you can leave comments on photos, add tags to photos, and search by categories or tags (very convenient).
What makes this a little different from other stock photo sites is you can create an account and upload your own photos to sell – you pick the price for the photo and receive royalties each time a photo is purchased (very cool for you amateur photographers out there). I think it’s definitely worth checking out – just click on the image above or the link below.
