In a nutshell, tell us about Shutterstock and how it was founded?
Shutterstock is a classic case of an idea that just took off. One man’s interest in selling his own photos has now become the world’s largest subscription-based online stock image agency. Back in 2003, soon after starting Shutterstock, Founder and CEO Jon Oringer realised that his photography alone could not satisfy customers’ demand for affordable stock images. In response, he decided to become an agent, offering other peoples’ work too. Today, his company’s library contains over 8.5 million photos, vectors, and illustrations, and grows by about 70,000 images weekly. In addition, Shutterstock Footage, launched in 2006, offers royalty-free video content with a library of over 145,000 video clips and more than 4,000 new ones added each month. All images and video clips sold through Shutterstock are royalty-free, so subscribers can use their downloaded content forever. Image buyers can subscribe from monthly to annual terms and download up to 25 images per day. Video clips are also avail
