Oslo, Norway. August 6, 2010 - Congratulations to Image No. 1 million taken by the American photographer Stephanie Frey! As you can see it’s an image of a beautiful young girl.
"We are proud and excited that our photographers have 1 million images for sale at yaymicro.com. Combined with our low prices this is something our customers appreciate when buying photos and illustrations”, says CEO Linda L. Johannessen.
Although photographers retain ownership rights to their images, there are huge advantages in a large image base. It is common for agencies to rely on other agencies to supply them with the main bulk of images. Few agencies have their own large image database, making YAY one of the largest image agencies in the world. This provides customers with a good and varied selection of high quality images. The variation in the images attracts a wide range of customers – such as newspapers, magazines, blogs, printing, publishing, advertising agencies and other image agencies.
When http://yaymicro.com opened, it did so with a strong focus on user-friendly technology and a positive attitude and interest in social media. "We have joined in on so many interesting and helpful discussions! The people we work with are very knowledgeable; we have received lots of suggestions, tips, advice and resources from the photographer community. There is a professional and friendly network available to anyone interested in buying, selling and usage of Royalty Free and editorial images. We also have our own image blog," says co-founder Jan Ole Kjellesvig.
"Easy to use technology is a cornerstone for us and, together with social media, has given us a head start on many of our competitors," adds CTO Oddbjørn Sjøgren.
YAY is experiencing a strong growth in new customers and expects to multiply sales in 2010.
