Bigstock is now a better choice for image buyers than ever before,
following a redesign in March 2010 that introduced a more powerful image
search engine. Lightning-fast and loaded with advanced options, the new
Bigstock search engine helps customers find a great stock image quickly,
easily and with precision. In addition, Bigstock's simple, credit-based
payment system provides the best online experience for buyers looking to
purchase affordable stock images.

"I love that I can refine my search to find stock photos that work
perfectly in my layouts," said Bigstock customer Ross Webster, a real estate
agent in Mt. Helena, Australia, who uses Bigstock images to make his ads more
fun. "When I need inspiration, I will often just browse new images in a
category and find a great photo."

Bigstock's collection comes from photographers and illustrators around
the world who submit images for approval by expert Bigstock reviewers. The
site attracts a worldwide customer base with its high-quality, affordable
images representing a diverse range of contemporary subjects and ideas.

Bigstock's 5 millionth stock photo is a beautifully composed and
technically outstanding close-up photograph of a bumble bee. Bruce MacQueen
of Cheektowaga, N.Y., who specializes in nature and wildlife photography,
contributed the image. "I shoot my passion," MacQueen said. "That's my best
advice. Shoot what you enjoy shooting."
