SANTA MONICA, CA, June 04, 2013 (Press-News.org) A new player in the crowdsourcing trend launched in beta this week. Advertising creatives Cassandra Nguyen and Grazina Snipas are offering a new way to find custom photography with their site PicoImages.com. Pico Images will connect users looking for specific photographs with just about anyone that can use a camera.
"We believe the democratization of photography and technology has increased the quality of photos people take every day," said Snipas. "You no longer have to be a professional photographer to take a great photo."
The process is simple - users describe the photo they're looking for, how they plan to use it, and how much they're willing to pay. Anyone with an image matching that description can submit their photo. Upon purchase, Pico Images generates a custom image license between the two parties.
Nguyen and Snipas formed Pico Images, their first company, after becoming frustrated at the lack of quality images on stock photography sites. "We had the budget for photography but couldn't find anything that looked good on the popular stock sites," said Nguyen. "At the same time, we were seeing all of these great photos pop up on our social networks but didn't have an easy way to contact the photographers or to license them. Pico Images plans to bridge that gap."
Pico Images was founded in February of 2012. For further information contact Grazina Snipas at grazina@picoimages.com or (321) 271-7007.
Pico Images is a crowdsourced stock photography website. For further information, please contact us at grazina@picoimages.com.
