If you HAVE a photo, you can Photrade. 
If you NEED a photo, you can Photrade.
Photrade is where photographers reclaim ownership of their photos. Photraders decide how, when, where and at what cost their photos are used online. We provide unprecedented protection for photos and offer a free photo marketplace where photographers can sell stock, prints and merchandise or use our Adcosystem (TM) where photographers get paid for every view of their photo, anywhere on the internet. Through Photrade, publications and blogs can access a fast-growing library of legally licensed, ad-supported photos. Reclaim your photos, start photrading.
"Photrade will give me the ability to sell my photos online safely. They're changing the standards of online photography." -Lane Hartwell, professional photographer
History
Photrade was founded in late 2006 by CEO Andrew Paradies. Andrew was an amateur photographer who wanted one photo site where he could share and sell his photos, without worrying about misuse. So he created Photrade. The first version of the Photrade Alpha site was launched in November of 2007. The site was built with no investment with a small team working out of a proverbial garage. In January of 2008 Photrade.com received funding and got straight to work building the first Beta version of the site. The Beta version launched in invitation only in June of 2008 and the public launch is planned for later in the year.
