SAN FRANCISCO (Business Wire EON) April 14, 2008 --
Bloggers looking for a photo to brighten up the content at their sites
can now get high-end creative images from Image
Source, the world's leading independent producer of royalty-free
stock photography, through the PicApp
platform. Image Source is making its large database of professional
quality images available to bloggers and other online publishers. The
PicApp license allows its members to freely and legally use Image Source
photos as often as they like to enhance the look and feel of their site,
help tell a story or accompany a news item.
Image Source specializes in lifestyle, health and beauty and business
photography, with the complete collection covering a wide variety of
topics, themes and categories. All Image Source photos are
professionally taken, with the company generating more than 3,000 new
images each month. Image Source joins other prestigious image agencies
as a premier content provider for PicApp.
“Image Source has grown to become one of the
most creative and prolific producers of stock photography in the world,”
said Eyal Gura, CEO, PicScout. “By adding the
company’s content to our PicApp offering, we
continue to make more and more previously unattainable and hard-to-get
images accessible, legally, to bloggers and online publishers.”
Image Source is renowned for being on the cutting-edge of trends in the
photography world in terms of art direction and stimulating creativity
through images.
Once at the PicApp site, online publishers can select any of the wide
range of images licensed from Image Source for free and use them
adjacent to a news post or editorial content on their sites. When the
image is streamed from the PicApp servers, it comes with a non-intrusive
ad that provides a monetization tool on the content owners’
behalf.
“Image Source is happy to be working with
PicScout on an initiative that will bring legitimacy to online image
use, and that explores a new revenue-generating model,”
Duncan Grossart, CEO, Image Source, said. “Providing
content through the PicApp platform really moves Image Source into the
new/social media arena for the first time.”
PicApp is currently in beta.
Interested bloggers covering day-to-day news, celebrities, sports and
more can go to www.picapp.com and
find the best images for their posts.
The new PicApp version uploaded recently includes an RSS feature. This
allows bloggers to build and save their own search feeds.
