"Stock photography that doesn't look so "stock""
It's the closest thing to getting custom photos taken for our organization. The photos are much more natural and "modern" for lack of better term.

What do you like best about Stocksy?

These photos are more stylized than the ones you buy on the other stock photo sites. If you need photos that aren't boring then Stocksy is a great site. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Stocksy?

There aren't as many photos as there are on some of the largest stock photo sites, but I think this is actually a good thing. They only have the best images on their site. The prices are just a little above the "average" sites, but not by much and the photos are so much better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Stocksy:

If you want more stylized photos go to Stocksy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Stocksy solving and how is that benefiting you?

Not only are the images way cooler than most of the ones that you find on other sites, but you don't have to waste your time literally going through thousands of "average" photos to finally find a good one. All of the photos are Stocksy are excellent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Stocksy?

Like a local boutique, Stocksy has a select few images to choose from that convey the message and tone of my social posts and flyers. I use stock photos periodically and the brands I market have certain aesthetics and personalities and I have enjoyed the selection and uniqueness of Stocksy's inventory. High quality is key and Stocksy is my first source. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Stocksy?

I know high quality comes at a price, but if you are looking for value in your message, sometimes you have to pay a little more. Time is money so it takes me less time scrolling through "not quite right" options, but Stocksy is a proven source what the exact image I am looking for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Stocksy:

Stocksy is perfect for unique projects that are looking to feature creative photos that reflect current image trends. Whether it a website redesign or ad campaign. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Stocksy solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have particular brand standards and personalities that we manage and consistency is important. We also don't want to overuse an image that everyone else has for the social platforms. Our clients are unique, elegant and relatable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
