Picibee

An Introduction

In short: Picibee sprung from a need – a need to expedite a creative process without sacrificing relevance and artfulness.

In photography, so much time, money and resources are spent in researching, creating, building, setting up and lighting sets and backgrounds for shoots. Complex and costly set-ups have become the norm today, especially with the emergence of CGI and non-organic images that truly scream for the kind of backgrounds that give them a sense of life - a life that, just like ours, is not so perfect but beautiful in its imperfections.

There are so many companies large and small, local and foreign that offer "backgrounds" and "textures" of all kinds and have been doing so for a very, very long time. But what was very clear from the outset was that Picibee could do it so much better and do it with style, sensitivity and above of all quality and beauty that would surpass the best of what was out there.

Also obvious was the tedious nature and the amount of images one has to go through with other stock agencies to find what one is hoping to find. While other companies boast and gloat in pride on having gazillion images, the team at Picibee thinks the chances of finding the image you are looking for in our very handpicked pool of beautiful imagery are much greater and the experience far more enjoyable. We promise we will always keep it that way for as long as we can.

In the end, what really sets Picibee apart is really “relevance”. In the world of stock imagery, Picibee is based on the belief that it is not really quantity nor quality, it is how relevant the images are in respect to what is needed and called for out in the real world.

At Picibee “relevance” is the single most important consideration in producing and selecting our images.

We do this because we are Picibee.
