SmallTown Stock adds to collection

New this month are photos of an American Legion Honor Guard performing a 21-gun-salute for a fallen veteran.

SmallTown Stock offers Reasonably Rights Managed stock photography by photojournalists. Headquartered in Central Ohio, its collection offers unique photography by photographers who understand deadlines and details and provide storytelling photos on a daily basis.

SmallTown Stock's photography, unlike that of the over-stylized look of traditional stock photography, stimulates storytelling with strong, evocative images creating an emotional experience for the reader.

Realizing many of our editorial shoots result in images that better match the need for contemporary stock imagery, we began SmallTown Stock with the intention of providing publishers and editors with photos of real people in real situations at real events. SmallTown Stock's core group of photographers brings more than 75 years of photojournalism to stock photography. Our experiences teach us the need for matching content with readership, delivering targeted images and helping publishers create a product to hold the reader's attention.

No matter your need, SmallTown Stock's photographers have already been there and have the photos to prove it.
