Responding to an increasing demand for reliable insights on the stock photography market three top stock photography industry experts, Lee Torrens, Paul Melcher and Amos Struck, have officially launched Stock Photo Insight, a consulting service providing calls with all three experts simultaneously.  

In addition, Stock Photo Insight is introducing a one-question-by-email service where all three experts provide independent answers within 24 hours.  ”For the first time, stock researchers will be able to get 3 expert points of view from a single written question, getting focused answers on specific points quicker.” says Paul Melcher, stock photo industry veteran.

The company will produce free monthly video calls discussing topical issues in the industry and how they impact the market, with emphasis on the dominant participants Shutterstock and Getty Images.  These discussions will serve to keep investors and researchers updated while also demonstrating the expertise on offer.

Leveraging 40 years of combined industry experience, yet with varied specialisations, the service is designed to ensure the whole is much greater than the sum of the parts, providing an accurate, precise, fact-rich and knowledgeable picture of an industry rich in activity but poor in public data.

“After years of offering consultancy services separately - which we will all continue to do - we realize how much a time and cost saver it would be to offer our three perspectives in one call’ says long-time microstock analyst Lee Torrens. “ We can now offer a powerful solution for those seeking a full 360 view and understanding of the marketplace and its key players”.

“With our new service, says Amos Stuck, “we can now offer a level of understanding of the industry not previously available without running around to multiple, separate consultants. For an investor, it is the perfect tool”.
