FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

BigStockPhoto.com's Photo Library Exceeds 700,000+ Premium, Royalty Free Stock Images

Davis, CA November 29, 2006 -- BigStockPhoto.com (www.BigStockPhoto.com) once again proved itself as a dominant force in the low cost, stock photo marketplace when it announced today that its royalty free, stock photo library exceeded 700,000 images - with 80,000 new images being added monthly. The company has experienced consistent, enviable growth since bursting on to the microstock scene in late 2004. Much of the company's success is attributed to its powerful and advanced search engine capabilities, enhanced image collections and friendly reputation amongst users.

By frequently upgrading the functionality of the site and continually adding new photo collections, the company has consistently exceeded the expectations of its growing community of 90,000+ users. Over the last year, the company has seen a dramatic surge in its image content as professional photographers have recognized the growing popularity of the site and BigStockPhoto's tremendous marketing reach. This has resulted in a much higher concentration of sophisticated, professional quality photos being added to the site.

"Achieving a library collection of 700,000 images, is a significant milestone for us and great news for photo buyers because it translates into more choices," said BigStockPhoto cofounder and CEO, Tim Donahue. "We thrive on helping photo buyers and the design community achieve exceptional results -- better, faster and at a fraction of traditional stock image costs. With a host of new site features on the horizon and a loyal and growing user base, we expect BigStockPhoto's phenomenal success to continue."
