iStockphoto Goes Mobile Putting Stock Photography in Your Pocket

Jun 24 by Ty Dunitz | no comments

Hey, y’know iStockPhoto? Well, hold onto your MOTHERLOVING hat, because this business just came to your iPhone. Just now. Yes, it did. I swear. Right now.

“Inspiration and ideas often strike when we least expect,” claims iStockphoto’s COO, Kelly Thompson. It’s totally cool that I can save images for later and share them with my colleagues and stuff – the usefulness for quick collaboration is apparent.

I have to point out that this app is pretty useful if you’re a contributing artist. iStockphoto Al fresco lets you track your downloads and sales, which rules if you’re the kind of person who likes to know how much money they’re making. You’re that kind of person, right? Are you also a photographer? Well, may I say with certainty that as of today, there’s an app for that.

Frankly, the interface is great, but considering it’s a design industry app running on a Mac product, that isn’t exactly surprising. It’s also free, so if you have ever thought of contributing to iStockphoto, or must find that perfect stock image from the comfort of your toilet, there is no better time than now.
