Introducing
Picade
There's no lack of places to find
stock photography these days.
But, is there a lack of different
places to look?
On one hand you have a few mega-agencies
busy chasing each other to offer the latest,
look-alike "brands". On the other, you
have numerous Internet portals stuffed
with the masses' photos. And all of them
boast how many millions of photos they have,
but does having millions of images really
make your photo searches easier?
Welcome Picade.
We think you'll enjoy working with a
stock photo agency that's passionate about
photography and offers a comprehensive,
smartly edited collection of great images
backed up with responsive, helpful customer
service - just like stock photo agencies
used to be.
Great Images
Great images come from skilled professionals.
All of our photographers are vetted by highly
discerning critics: other photographers!
Only those who have a consistently excellent
body of work are invited to join Picade.
Comprehensive
Picade photographers shoot the gamut -
commercial, editorial, conceptual, photojournalism,
fine art, etc. - and all the shades in between.
And for those times when stock photos just won't
do the job, many of our photographers are available
for custom shoots and assignments.
Unique
Picade requires that twenty percent of a contributor's
images be exclusive to the Agency. Many provide more
than that. That means at least a quarter of our
images won't be found anywhere else.
Smartly Edited
Sometimes, less is more. Who needs ten minor variations
of the same scene? At Picade, similars are
generally limited to three. For example, a horizontial,
a vertical, and maybe one with more negative space for
ad copy or a masthead.
Quality not Quantity
As we grow, experienced editors will keep the collection
succinct. We don't envision offering more than a half
million images at any time in the archive. But if you
need to delve further, ask! Collectively, our photographers'
individual files are deep.
Responsive Service
Our professionally staffed sales office has one mandate:
help every customer that asks for assistance,
whether with an image search, licensing question,
billing issue, or arranging an assignment with one
of our photographers. We strive to provide the best
customer service you've ever experienced.
We Look Forward to Working with You!
