Feeding the beast

It's only once you start something like Britstock Photo that you realise how much work you've taken on! Without the support of our contributing photographers, we'd be quite stuck for a wider spread of images.

We have another session later this week with our friend Mike at Kitchen To Table, this time aiming to add kitchen ware and proper food to the library. I have an opportunity to get some photos at my local car repair place, and we have plans for trips into London to see the sites and record them for posterity. Looking further afield, Coventry is on the cards, and the geographical spread of our contributors will mean it should be reasonably easy to fill in the gaps.

So, it's all exciting stuff. We're working on growing the library, and growing our membership. Don't forget if you've already signed up and recommend someone else who signs up and buys some PicPoints, we give you bonus points as a thank you.

While our PicPoints - Britstock Photo's credit system - are £1 each, we have discounts of up to 35% if you buy in bulk. The minimum purchase is 10 PicPoints. Photos cost one PicPoint for the smallest size, and go up to a maximum of 30 for the largest. All our images download to a full print-ready 300dpi. PicPoints don't expire, either.

We're still on the lookout for new contributing photographers. If you think you may be good enough then drop us an email or tweet with links to an online portfolio. If we like what we see, we'll be in touch with more information and an invitation to join.

Britstock Photo's library is exclusive - you won't find our images in any other online stock library. We specialise in images about the UK, of the UK and from the UK.
