Shutterstock

New York, NY, Jan. 09, 2007. Shutterstock®, already the world’s largest subscription-based stock photo agency, today announced another milestone: Shutterstock has the largest photo collection in the microstock industry. “Microstock,” a term that describes the newest wave of stock photo agencies, generally refers to companies that are web-based, source their photographs from a diverse pool of talent, and sell royalty-free images at rates lower than traditional “macro” agencies.

Founded in 2003, Shutterstock distinguished itself immediately with its user-friendly subscription model and superb photo library; today it has further differentiated itself from the competition by the sheer magnitude of its collection.
