subsidiary of AGB Photo Library, a successful
Brazilian stock picture library. Using the website’s
Advanced Search feature, you can choose
from a lengthy list of categories. Select “Conceptual,”
and you will get a second submenu of options

| [22] OnRequest Images’ custom stock business
is focused on shooting and providing creative
professionals with fresh, new custom
imagery in 2–3 days, rather than searching for
existing images. To provide STEP readers with
an example of how the service works, in the
same amount of time other stock providers had
to search, OnRequest shot images specifically
for this feature. Springboarding from the concept
connection, photographers from the company’s
network of over 1,600 professionals
around the world generated more than 75 interpretations.
With its custom stock priced
nearly the same as traditional stock photography,
advertising agencies, design firms, and
corporate clients can shoot, instead of search
for, brand-new images that reflect the unique
vision of their campaign—without compromising
timelines or budgets. 877.202.5025,
