PREMIUM Stock Photography

What's the difference between the premium images found at The Stock Solution (TSSphoto.com) and micro-payment stock photo sources (like Shutterstock and Dreamstime)?

  • More unique imagery.  Micro stock is cheap because the images are widely distributed and used by thousands of clients - many in your same industry. Images from TSSphoto are more unique and less widely distributed.

  • Broader licenses. Micro stock may be royalty-free (may be used again and again without paying additional fees), but their use licenses are often very restrictive, especially when it comes to merchandising uses.  TSSphoto also offers royalty-free images (albeit at a higher rate) that have broader use licenses, and we offer rights-managed images where the use license can be custom crafted just for your needs (and even restrict usage by competitors in your industry).

  • Custom Research and Personal Service. Micros are a new Internet experience for the masses. Everything is online, and streamlined for automatic checkout. TSSphoto offers the same online features, but we've been in the photo research business for over 25 years, so we're also experienced in doing things the olde-fashioned way -- we know how to work for your patronage. Need us to find an image or a whole series of images for a book or article?  Use our custom search Web page, or just call (or email) Douglas Pulsipher (1-888-366-0430 or 1-801-366-0430) with your question or request.
