Micro Stock is the new business model for stock photography and illustration. Sites charge very low prices for high resolution, royalty-free, stock art and photographers (supposedly) make money on volume. I don’t actually know how good this has been for photographers, but it has been great for designers. We now can comp stuff with high res art and get quality art for low budget projects. Here are links to some of the best micro stock sites in no particular order:
