EcoPhotos.com - Review
EcoPhotos.com is a stock photo agency specialized in nature, environmental protection, and sustainability related topics. Images illustrate what needs to be protected, threats to people and to the environment, and a wide range of more sustainable alternatives.
EcoPhotos is currently undergoing a major transition. As of March 2007, the website offers hundreds of royalty free images suitable for online, multimedia or presentation uses as well as for selected smaller print applications. Over the coming year EcoPhotos will be expanding its offerings to include high-resolution rights managed photos available for magazine, book, commercial, and other publication uses.
EcoPhotos Highlights:
Natural World Photos
Images of the natural world are the focus of this section. While in some cases they may incidentally include people, structures, vehicles, or other products of society and technology, overall they capture the plants, animals and natural geological features of the planet.Society & Technology Photos
Images of normal day-to-day operation of society. While in some cases they include aspects of nature or elements of the problems we confront or of the alternative solutions available, overall they capture how we, and the communities and technologies we have created, look and function.Problems & Issues Photos
Images of environmental and sustainability-related problems and issues. While polluted air and water are widely recognized as problems, other images in this section may be seen as depicting problems by some but not by others. One person’s urban sprawl may be another person’s American dream. One person’s traffic congestion may be another’s image of freedom and mobility.Solutions & Alternatives Photos
Images of solutions to our environmental and sustainability-related problems. Sometimes a solution to one problem creates another problem. Wind turbines can kill birds. Sometimes there are several competing solutions, each with costs and problematic side effects. For these reasons, images included in this section depict a variety of alternatives, and there may be no clear consensus concerning which are the “real” solutions.
EcoPhotos is listed in the sustainability category.
