StockPhotoFinder.com, will become the leading centralized source to locate millions of images in the stock photography industry. The search engine, the first of its kind in the industry, offers the full inventory of scores of recognized stock photo sources, fully searchable by keywords, enabling thumbnail viewing and direct contact with image providers. The site was launched in October and is growing at more than 30,000 images a week. It is designed to service commercial image users with a search engine that is both comprehensive and easy to navigate. StockPhotoFinder.com has been rapidly signing up many supply sources, ranging from large libraries to niche supply houses to individual photographers, with each provider vetted to make certain they are fully qualified to offer quality images and service. "It is already being recognized as the 'Google' of the stock photo industry," said Randy Taylor, the company president. "Our goal is to search every qualified database offering stock photography and offer users a powerful search engine that provides a convenient, efficient and effective way to fill their image needs. It's the ultimate source." Navigation of the site is a creative's dream. By entering keywords, matching thumbnail images instantly appear on the screen. Images for consideration can be moved to a "lightbox" and categorized for further review. Multi searches can take place while the lightbox retains its inventory. A click of the image connects users to sellers, where the image license can be consummated or contact with the image provider can be accomplished. In addition to servicing end users, StockPhotoFinder.com offers customized web sites to accommodate corporations and their preferred vendors with a branded version. The Thomson Corporation is the first of many to contract this customized service. Longtime observers of the evolution of the stock photo acquisition process will hail this as a powerful tool that saves enormous time by searching one web site instead of many to view most of the world's finest imagery. From the days of visiting supply houses and combing through rows of filing cabinets, to the introduction of catalogs and CD's, to the online offerings by individual agencies &endash; this will be a "one-stop shopping" experience whose time has come. "Our feedback from both the supply side and from the user side has been terrific," said Taylor.
