Polylooks launches online community for microstock image buyers
Polylooks.co.uk, the online stock photo agency owned by Deutsche Telekom, has launched its Polylooks International Facebook fan page to give amateur and professional photographers and artists alike a forum to collaborate online.
People looking to download stock photos or buy royalty free illustrations online can also benefit from expert tips at the site and at Polylooks’ microstock photography blog.
Polylooks enables photographers and artists to sell their work to publishers through the popular microstocking model, which is now a multi-billion dollar industry globally.
The Polylooks International fan page will contain blogs, features, microstocking best practice advice and interviews, enabling both contributors and purchasers of stock photos and illustrations to make the most of microstocking.
The English-language site follows the recent launch of the company’s Facebook fan page in its home country of Germany
“The market for stock photography is growing rapidly, driven by increasing demand from publishers for high quality, cost effective royalty free photos and illustrations for use in blogs, corporate sites and magazines,” said Carmen Jones, Polylooks International’s Facebook fan page editor. “I encourage anyone who’s passionate about photography and digital art and wants to either sell their work or buy photos or download illustrations from others to join the group and get involved in the microstock community.”
