In July 2016
Alamy published an infographic with a timeline for the history of stock photography. They have just released an updated version with 10 new milestones based on comments they received from the public. You can find the updated timeline
here.
They are still actively seeking feedback and interaction. If you know of more notable events in the history of stock photography please pass along the information to
ynhentvyyrfcvr@nynzl.pbz Their goal is to keep adding to the timeline in order to produce a really comprehensive history of stock photography.??
Back in 2006 I published my own version of the
History of Stock Photography which certainly needs to be updated.
Since I prepared my timeline from a U.S. perspective and Alamy from a European perspective, there may be distinctive features from both these areas and Asia that have been left out. Readers can help.
