Vendors in the microstock photography segment source images from photographers and sell licenses for the use of these photos at prices lower than those charged by traditional stock photography agencies (between $1 and $100 per photo).

Though the concept of microstock emerged from the concepts of crowdsourcing content and offering free photos, microstock has evolved as an ideal solution for the Internet age.One of the major drivers for this market is evolution of new business models. Earlier, vendors procured images from professional photographers and sold them at high prices. However, the declining demand for still images due to the falling popularity of the print medium is encouraging existing players and new vendors to adopt new business models.These models consist of creator-focused collectors and customer-focused distributors and employ different delivery methods, monetization strategies, and content quality.
