Big Stock Photo Review

Intro

BigStockPhoto.com is a discount stock photo provider who carries both professional photography albums as well as snapshots from individual photographers. The photography on Big Stock Photo is both diverse and economical allowing you to purchase a wide range of photos for $1.50 a piece.

Positive

The low cost of purchasing individual stock photos for the cost $1.50. At this price you can purchase up to thirty, forty, sometimes fifty photos at BigStockPhoto.com compared to purchasing a single photo at a traditional vendor. Another advantage of Big Stock Photo is the "Truly Royalty-Free" license agreement. Big Stock Photo proudly boasts the most unrestricted royalty-free licensing agreement on the web. Whereas most stock photography vendors limit picture size, certain media use or restrict any form of resale for purchased stock photos, Big Stock Photo only asks that an additional license fee be paid when a photo is incorporated into another project.

Negative

The content on Big Stock Photo can sometimes be as liberal as its licensing restrictions. Part of Big Stock Photo's philosophy is to allow photographers to post anything, even their vacation photos. This philosophy has produced astounding photos portraying gritty realism, beautiful outdoor scenes and groundbreaking ideas towards imagery. However this freedom to publish anything has also meant weeding thru the occasional family portrait of Uncle Joe and his dog.

Recommendation

A website offering this much creativity and potential savings needs to be visited. If you're looking for cutting edge photos without having to pay a top notch price then Big Stock Photo is for you.
