Another highlight will be an appearance by iStockphoto founder and CEO Bruce Livingstone as part of Meet the Professionals at photokina 2008. His presentation on Wednesday, 24 September 2008, is entitled “The Future of Microstock”.
iStockphoto is the world’s leading provider of royalty-free stock material. An image is downloaded every 1.4 seconds at http://www.istockphoto.com. iStock was the first company in the industry to introduce the micropayment model, enabling customers to download photographs at highly affordable prices starting at US$1.
Since September 2006, iStockphoto has also offered video clips at similarly attractive prices. Together with its members, iStockphoto has successfully transformed itself from a community into a commercial image provider. It is changing the digital-image market by strongly and consistently encouraging continuing dialogue and learning while enabling companies to acquire images cost-effectively. iStockphoto is headquartered in Calgary, Canada, and is a wholly owned subsidiary of Getty Images.
