Summary: Launched in 1999, Alamy revolutionised stock photography by creating the world’s first open, unedited collection of images. Our pictures come from anyone who wants to sell – a diverse mix of professional photographers, enthusiastic amateurs, stock agencies, news archives, museums and national collections.
We’ve become the largest and most comprehensive online photo resource, offering unrivaled choice to picture buyers around the world. Our customers are as diverse as our contributors, ranging from press and publishing groups, advertising and design agencies and corporate marketing departments to bloggers, internal communication departments and individual buyers.
We focus on making sure customers are able to find the right image quickly and easily, constantly improving our search technology and developing new tools to make our site lightning quick and simple to use.
Our entrepreneurial flair is combined with a fair and philanthropic approach to business. We pay our contributors more than we pay ourselves. We also give back the vast proportion of our profits – 89% since 2006 – to medical research.
What It Will Cost: $5+ per image
