Utilize the power of crowds to have your perfect image made at a price you set. customAdArt flips the traditional stock photography model on its head and allows users to have their images created rather than searching stock sites and never finding an image that really fits their needs.
Springwise says “customAdArt has the potential to save advertisers the time and money they would have spent trying to find the perfect image; photographers, meanwhile, are spared the necessity of 'blindly shooting and hoping that someone might be interested in their particular image,' as the site puts it.
Will crowdsourcing be as controversial in commercial photography as it has been in graphic design? Only time will tell."
