YAYmicro is a new stock distributor based in Oslo, Norway that just started representing the iofoto collection. The founders all have previous stock industry experience. In their own words… “our aim is for YAYmicro to be the first microstock agency that fully incorporates and promotes both editorial and creative content”.

Much to our delight, the next SnapVillage ad uses one of our pet photos shot by Gray Mitchell! The ad appears on the back cover of Creativity’s March issue. This ad will also appear in the May/June issues of Communication Arts, STEP, HOW, Print, Layers and Create.

Our dinosaur is famous!

By the way, the shots are similar, but totally different models. Something about that flinging hair that’s fun!
