Campbell, CA (PRWEB) June 22, 2007 -- Bloggers, graphic designers, students, teachers and others searching for images will now have an additional resource -- the growing library of inexpensive, royalty-free images available at LuckyOliver. Through partnership arrangements, LuckyOliver's images will be highlighted in search results at PictureSandbox, Pixsy, and ImageTrail.

"We're excited to be able to offer our users more quality photos to choose from for the creative projects," said Dr. Augustine Fou, Founder and CEO of PictureSandbox. "LuckyOliver's collection of photos from semi-professional and professional photographers adds significant value to users looking for stock photos. And with affordable (but not cheap) images more buyers can actually find and use images for their creative work, compared with the high prices and onerous license terms from the "old school" stock photo houses," he concluded.

"The Pixsy Media Search Platform is a great solution to organize and manage LuckyOliver's extensive collection of stock photography," said Chase Norlin, Pixsy CEO. "Now professionals and consumers will have an easy search capability to immediately access images for all of their publishing needs."

The partnerships create an additional avenue for LuckyOliver images to be seen. On each of the three photo search engines, users looking for a specific search term will be able to consider purchasing a royalty-free LuckyOliver image.

"It's all about innovative ways to get our community's photographs in front of buyers," said Bryan Zmijewski, LuckyOliver's founder. "But equally important is getting these photographs in front of audiences who didn't realize they were buyers until they saw an image they had to have. The fact that our photos are so affordable--starting at just a dollar -- means that folks who are searching for free photos won't have to stretch too far to imagine paying for the exact image they want."
