What defines a ViewBug collection image?
The ViewBug Marketplace collection is fresh, modern, contemporary and useful.
We are looking for images that turn the notion of stock photography upside down by providing a fresh view into the World of licensable imagery. Our images tell stories, they express emotion and strike a chord with the viewer. Our images provide a new, unique perspective. We are seeking images that help us build a new, thoughtful collection that is an alternative to traditional stock. Images that are emotional, captivating, vibrant, unique, artsy, thoughtful, thematic, modern, fresh, global, well-composed and have strong lighting.
What are we looking for?
We are looking for images that feel real and authentic, images that show natural moments with models who don't appear to be posing. These images should represent the modern Wold: Diversity is key! The ViewBug aesthetic is about natural images of kids, adults, families and friends having fun and enjoying life. Images should be of lifestyle, business and workplace, sports, food and wellness.
