How to Buy Stock Photos & Images

Crestock Quicktour

When we started Crestock, we had all been users of other stock agencies, but we felt that something was really missing – they all had one big flaw. Every single one of them.

When you start a stock photography site, you need photos and images – lots of them; to reach what's called a "critical mass" in the image library, most newcomers in the stock photo market allow for a fairly lax quality control just to get the numbers up.

We decided to do exactly the opposite; we decided to build the very best image library on the web. Period.

We have long since past the critical mass, and our images all have one thing in common; they're amazing.

Now, you may argue that other established stock photo agencies have substantial image collections too, but the matter of fact is that since they had a lower quality standard when they started, there are literally thousands of poor images polluting their database.

We have no pollution, which means you'll spend less time finding that perfect image.


Testimonials

"After being unable to find 'the right' images during the redesign of our website and corporate brochure, we were fortunate enough to find Crestock. We believe the Crestock image selection successfully meets our requirements for this project, and we continue to use them for each subsequent company publication we create."
– Joseph Ferreri, President, Atlantic Partners Inc

"I uploaded 23 of my best images using their very impressive upload process. 22 were rejected. By their own admission Crestock reject a lot of photos that other microstock agencies don't, and they weren't kidding."
– Lee Torrens, Photographer, Microstock Diaries

"We absolutely love the images and think they really add a professional touch. They are classy and sophisticated to match the feel we hope people can get from the site. We found it really easy to find and buy the images. It was great that we could download them straight away. I'd definitely use Crestock again!"
– Clair Donegan, NLP practitioner, CJ Mind Matters
