Hey Hunters! My name is Shawn Rubel and I’m the founder of Vecteezy.com – the largest independent digital marketplace for free vectors, stock photos, and stock videos. Have you ever browsed a free stock photo website and found a beautiful photo that was perfect for your project, only to get that sinking feeling in your stomach that you weren’t quite sure if the photo was “legit”? Welcome to the sketchy world of “free stock photos” - where the photographer sourced from Instagram has no idea about the legal implications of sharing their photos freely on the internet under a “do whatever you want” license. Perhaps you’ve asked any of the following questions when browsing a free stock photo website: 1. Who is the person in this photo? 2. How can I know if the person in this photo approves of their image being distributed online and used for commercial purposes? 3. How can I know if I can use this photo in my commercial projects and my client won't get sued? 4. How can I know if I won't get sued for using this photo? 5. How can I know who's responsible if the person in this photo sues me for using it because they suddenly decided they didn’t want me to use it anymore? 6. How can I have the confidence to know the photographer was aware of their legal implications when sharing this photo freely on the internet? 7. How can I prove the legality of this photo to my client if they ask? These are all questions that any user needs to have answers for if working on commercial projects. Vecteezy solves this problem by giving our users the confidence that we’ve addressed all of the above questions. Every free photo on our site is vetted from our team of reviewers for copyright issues. We require model releases for people, and property releases for locations. We offer legal indemnification up to $100k to give you and your clients the confidence that the photos you are using are free and clear of any legal issues No other free stock photo website on the internet does any of this. Vecteezy gives you the peace of mind that every photo in our library is 100% legally legitimate so you can have the confidence to use them in your commercial projects. Ask me anything!
