What is microstock?
Microstock is relatively new phenomenon in the commercial images market.
In the past, if you required stock images, you would have purchaced them from tradition stock agencies. These agencies build their exclusive portfolios by commissioning professional photographers.
Microstock has changed all that. Microstock portals source their diverse portfolio from the global community, and license these images at prices that have changed the stockimaging market forever.
