HERE YA GO.
We want to make this as easy as possible to understand - because, hey, legal mumbo jumbo is boring and can seem like a foreign language to many of us sometimes. Legal stuff is never fun but always important. CreateHER Stock is a lifestyle-esque, stock photography resource where we curate modern and authentic imagery for female bloggers, creatives, and online influencers of color. We are proud to say that we serve individuals of all races and ethnicities who find great use in our content - catering specifically to Black women and most of our everyday lives.
THE LICENSE: Non-Exclusive. Use for personal or use for your business. (See Usage Overview below)
We're here to help fill a gap where stock photography is otherwise lack-luster for African American women. Understand that we are a small platform and we curate all of our content with love, not haste. Your support allows us to continue growing and curating great content just for you. So if you're expecting to sit down and view a catalog of over 10k images and beyond, we may not be for you.
Please review the information below prior to making any purchase or commitment to our wonderful platform! We like to keep it simple and to the point, for the most part. Questions? Contact Us.
