BigStockPhoto Shaking up the Stock Photography Industry

DAVIS, California -- BigStockPhoto.com in Davis, is shaking up the stock photo industry by providing high quality, high resolution photos for a fraction of the price of traditional stock photo agencies. Photo buyers can buy beautiful high-resolution photos, with royalty-free usage rights, for about $1.50 each at BigStockPhoto.com -- about 1/20th the cost that traditional stock photo agencies charge.

BigStockPhoto.com, founded by Tim and Dawn Donahue of Davis California, was created because they had a need for low-cost stock photos for their two websites: www.CoolHomepages.com and www.ClientReady.com. Also, they saw the rising quality of affordable digital cameras available to the public and anticipated a boom of hobbyist photographers being able to feed the design world with beautiful high resolution photographs.
