A new stock photo service finally represents people of color — and the internet is overjoyed
BRWN Stock Imaging is a new stock photo service that features people of color.
The INSIDER Summary:
- A new stock photo service is going viral on social media for increasing diversity.
- BRWN Stock Imaging, which launched on June 26, provides stock images that feature people of color “living, laughing, working, and loving.”
- The images are taken by contributors and range anywhere from $25 to $45 per frame.
- Fans of the company took to Twitter to show their support.
It’s no secret that stock photos featuring people of color are limited in comparison to other cultural groups.
The quality of what’s available is rather lackluster too, leaving those who are searching for them with even fewer options.
Recently, Twitter users freaked out after learning that a new stock photo servicehas launched to better represent people of color.
We’re so excited to share BRWN Stock and continue to expand our library. This is only the beginning! ��
