Bigstock Review
Bigstock was founded back in the fall of 2004 by (husband & wife) Tim Donahue (CEO) and Dawn Donahue (CFO). Since September 2009 Bigstock is owned by the market leader in subscription downloads, Shutterstock.
Bigstock is one of the bigger and more reliable agencies with more than 4.250.000 photos in their portfolio at the moment. Although sales are not as high as with some other well known agencies, I can not think of any reason why Bigstock should not be on your list to upload to.
Bigstock application process
Once you register to Bigstock you have to take and pass their online test. If you get it right, you are allowed to upload your photos straight away.
