Bruce Livingstone

Bruce Livingstone is a Canadian entrepreneur who founded iStockphoto, an online distributor of stock photography. Livingstone started iStockphoto in 2000 as a project offering stock photos for free over the internet. In 2002, high monthly bandwidth bills prodded him to implement a payment/credit system. In 2006, Livingstone sold iStockphoto to Getty Images for $50 million, where he continued on as iStockphoto's CEO. Currently, Livingstone is CEO of Saatchi Online, an internet-based art community. He had a thought and determination and showed the world what you could do with a little ambition. iStockphoto is still a largely used photo site today and continues to grow with his help. In interviews he said that when he first started the website he was regularly working 16 hour days to make sure the website was up and running properly. The website is easily navigated and also has multiple different search options to make sure you get the exact match you are looking for.
