Flickr Photos Become Stock Photography at Getty Images
Many of us use online stock photography when we're looking for images to spice up a presentation or blog post. A lot of us also love to scour Flickr for the same purpose, since with a little digging we can typically find truly beautiful and captivating photos to express what our words can't.
Recognizing that the same holds true for professionals, Getty Images, the popular site for print and media stock photography buys, is hoping to make the search for, and purchase of, high quality Flickr images for commercial purposes less of hassle with the Flickr Collection — which made its debut last night.
In the exclusive partnership that was initially announced last July, Getty Images editors handpicked photographs from Flickr's community of 3 billion images and plans to refresh the collection with thousands of new ones each one month.
