New Web directory StockPhotographySites.info offers access to more than 600 stock photography sites. The directory, organized in 25 categories, was developed by Technology Relations Ltd. The same company also runs PhotoSoftwareNews.com, a directory of commercial photography software.
According to Technology Relations director John Lewell, the goal of StockPhotographySites is to highlight smaller, boutique and specialist agencies, as well as individual photographers. “Picture editors and researchers often fail to find the image they need because searching tends to sample the most popular photos rather than strikingly original or rarely seen images,” Lewell said in a statement.
He also pointed out that the new Web site may be a useful tool for photographers who seek agency representation for their work. StockPhotographySites.info categories include architecture and interiors, celebrities, lifestyle, microstock/royalty-free, movies and entertainment, nature, landscape and wildlife, news, news features, online photo communities, sports, and global and regional travel.
