L5. 12 Alamy

Alamy is an online stock photo collection and with over 55 million high quality images it is the world largest stock photo collection. Anything and i mean anything, alamy has everything, from brown cows to balloons.

Alamy was founded in 1999 and has since then grown sot a stagger 55 million plus photographs. When Alamy first started digital photography was not as strong as what it is today.
Alamy is open to work that is anything, because anyone wants an image for something, but their is a price to buying the images and how the photographer and Alamy receives a profit, it is a 50/50 profit and for student its 100% give back to the student.

Within the first 5 year of Alamy being produced it reached its first million photographs and then it became profitable, 14 years Alamy has been running for and has over 55 million photographs. It is officially the largest online collection of images and video clips.
Like technology Alamy has grown throughout the year eventually accepting digital prints and the film is not as strong as it is more convenient to transport digital than film.
