Shutterstock announced that it has added its 850,000th image to its photo library (www.Shutterstock.com).

Continuing its  expansion, Shutterstock's image library has grown by over 70% in 2006 alone. This is made possible by an international network of almost 30,000 contributing photographers, Shutterstock's team of photo reviewers working around the clock, and an ever-growing demand from the creative community for high-quality images.

"We are proud of the numbers," says Jon Oringer, CEO, of this most recent milestone, "but we are more concerned with quality than quantity. Shutterstock is about providing superior images to our subscribers and that will always be our top concern."

Shutterstock is also focused on the diversity of its collection - with a customer base spread across the globe and involved in industries including publishing, advertising, web design, and product design, Shutterstock provides images suited to a wide variety of applications. Shutterstock's library is divided into 30 categories ranging from Business and People to Animals/Wildlife and Signs/Symbols, each of which contains thousands of images.
