While there aren’t too many details about the library size or pricing ranges for Stills just yet due to its recent launch and exclusive nature, the brand has released the names of some of their photographers as part of the lead up to their launch. A strategy which should set it apart in the industry. With a focus on authentic and premium photography, Stills looks to be wise in limiting both its library and user base to really focus on developing a community, rather than just a wholesale service.
