StudentStock is an online stock media agency that helps student photographers and designers reach image buyers in the world. Students receive educational content, engage socially, and their own free portfolio and free stock website. StudentStock offers contests to help students improve their work, develop a library of images, and engage students. The management team has decades of relevant experience. Combined, they are experienced in finance, software engineering, media industry, marketing, advertising, and strategic leadership. The founders observed the amazing work of students and the obstacles they faced entering the stock photography market. Students do not have a large enough body of work and generally aren't considered professionals. Similarly, buyers frequently encounter disappointment when finding only clichéd or over-used images. StudentStock gives students an opportunity to enter the market and have their creative work seen and sold. StudentStock provides an e-commerce platform for students to sell and companies to buy stock media as part of the $5B stock market. Students can upload and sell media, have their own custom stock site, and earn commission on media sales. Moreover, they have the ability to participate in the social network, learn from industry experts, and further develop their career. StudentStock monitors trends and influencers in photography, design, and video. Buyers can find current media reflecting leading movements in technology and creativity of the millennial community. Buyers can also request custom photographs using the “Request a Photo” feature.
