Marketplace for custom images

While geared towards advertisers, customAdArt (http://www.customadart.com/) is an interesting alternative to stock photography sites for website builders as well.

customAdArt allows advertisers (or website builders) to post requests for specific shots and then have member photographers shoot and submit their best efforts to satisfy them.

Springwise describes how it works:

Advertisers begin by posting a job on the site, including a description of what they’re looking for, a price (the minimum is USD 100), and a deadline; listing the job costs USD 50. For two weeks—or until a winner is selected—photographers can submit their best entries for the advertiser’s consideration. When clients find a photo they like—they can provide feedback first, if necessary—they pay the artist directly. In return, they gain full rights to the purchased image.

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.

Good luck!
