I have worked in the photography industry since 2007. During that time I have done a variety of roles including buying, selling and distributing photos other people have taken. This creative industry is one of the best and I love it. I also have a gallery of other files I distribute to bloggers, designers and anybody else who needs them. They are designed to be of everyday items rather then posh and fancy. Other sites do the highly professional ones very well, so I want to aim for a more natural area of the market which is ideal particularly for bloggers.

I also now work with vectors, font faces and icon sets. I love creativity and this is a great industry to work in. I am also regularly blogging, my favourite work to create is a 'photo post' which focuses on a specific part of the world or an object and finds the best files to show off the area the best. It is a lot of fun to write them and I can even take an entire day up doing 1 piece.

Over the years I have also spent a lot of time working on the licensing and legal side of things to understand the copyright issue we currently face online. Far too many people use an images they want without even asking permission. This is terrible and a fight we have to continually address to make the future a more protected place for copyright holders. If you are a user, and need certain files for commercial use, it is quite simple, pay for the privilege and show the license. This way you are protecting yourself and can sleep well at night knowing no claims will come your way.

I will continue to upload more files going forward and hope to build bigger databases of fonts, vectors and other media.
