Asian stock photo company, Photokore, launches Russian image search

Stock photography company Photokore adds Russian to its list of supported search languages, which already include English, Chinese, Japanese and Korean, Hindi, Indonesian, Thai, Filipino, Spanish, French and German. Photokore is the first Asian stock photography site to offer search in this many languages.

Penetrating the growing Asian image market is the goal for many photographers. However, it has been difficult to reach the Asian image market due to an absence of a site where customers can search for stock images in their native tongue.

Photokore eliminates this hurdle with their growing list of Asian search languages, and also facilitates image search by non-Asian customers by providing English, Spanish, French, German, and now Russian search functionality.

According to Photokore’s CEO, Sean Mooney, “Gaining global exposure for their creative work is one of the reasons so many Asian Artists have joined Photokore. With the addition of Russian, we’re allowing our artists’ images to be searched by even more of the global image-purchasing market – in their native tongue”.

Stock photo company, Photokore, expands reach with addition of Portuguese search functionality

“Increasing the global exposure of our Artists’ work is one of Photokore’s key goals”, according to Photokore’s CEO, Sean Mooney. “The addition of Portuguese search to our site means the reach of our artists’ images will be greatly expanded, while giving images buyers around the world access to a unique collection of photos and illustrations”.
