2023 marks a milestone for us at Stocksy.
We're celebrating ten years of disrupting the Stock media industry.
That’s ten years of supporting artists around the world. Ten years of paying the highest rates in the industry. And ten years of reflecting the real world through authentic, inclusive and diverse stock media.
A lot has changed since we uploaded our first piece of content in 2013. We have learned many things about our artists, our clients and our industry.
We are proud to be an organization that supports our clients in their marketing objectives and supports our 2,000 artists from 90 different countries to produce meaningful work.
Some of those have been here since the beginning, and some are new faces.

The success of Stocksy is a testament to what can happen when people seek to change the world.
One decade down and forever to go!

Artist Reflections
We asked some of our contributing artists to reflect on what their journey with Stocksy means to them. We handed over the microphone to share some heartwarming tales below:
"I cannot be more grateful for being here. I had wanted to be part of this great community of artists for many years and when I got it I can say that it has been one of the most satisfying achievements I have had in my work. I really only think about being able to offer Stocksy my best work and grow with all of you like an artist."
– Lupe Rodríguez
“Stocksy is 100% home of our business and with no doubts our collection here is the cherry on top of whatever we created. Our best ever works, our top skills, deepest thoughts, hardest efforts. It was, still is, and we pray will always be the most exciting and creative journey together."
- Milles Studio
“In the past ten years, Stocksy's purpose, consciousness, concept, and standards have brought me a new understanding of stock photography. Stocksy is like a trusted partner and teammate on the road of growth, helping each other to grow and encourage each other, and walk together on a beautiful scenery of the sun.”
- ChaoShu Li
“First I want to express my sincere gratitude for being a part of this creative company for the past nine years out of 10. I have had the privilege to meet with some of the most talented individuals in the industry, some of them I can even call my friends, and I am thankful for the opportunities and experiences that have helped me grow both professionally and personally.”
– Jovo Jovanovic
“I have so enjoyed being a part of Stocksy for the last decade. I have learnt so much and made many good friends along the way. THANK YOU!”
- Kirstin Mckee
“Posting photos and videos on Stocksy has become a salvation for me in a new country - my boyfriend and I began to take photos and videos from our life, our trips and walks, although we had never done this before - now it makes sense to share it. If this can be useful to clients, that's great, because working in this direction is very interesting. The world changes when you look at it from a positive angle, you notice more details and more beauty around.”
– Lucia Postike
We’ve evolved a lot in 10 years and so have our original contributors. View the most recent work from the OG Stocksy artists.
Reflect the Real World
The media we use as brands reflects what we value and can be used as an agent of change. At Stocksy we're proud to provide content that reflects the diversity, intersectionality, complexity, and evolution of modern culture.
At Stocksy we aim to reflect the world as it is.
