The past year after working with and speaking to many web designers I have noticed a common problem. Agencies and freelancers use a lot of stock photography. However, it is very difficult for them to find the right photo so they have to conduct photo shoots.
I have also been looking through stock photography sites to find images for some websites I was involved in and have had very little success. These two scenarios led me to want to build something better than the current option.
I would love to hear what good and bad experiences you have had with using stock sites to search for photos. All feedback will help create a business that will be a better alternative.
