Finally we updated our old stock web site. Now there will be only a water and things related to a water. No children, animals, nature or architecture – only water. Water, water everywhere….

This site has a long history.
Alex, as a programmer, crated it when we even don’t think about professional photography business, created simply because we had a huge collection of nice photos, and we wanted to leverage some money from our expensive hobby.
Even though we knew that to be successful, small stock sites should have a very narrow niche (by the subject of the photography), but that time we thought that  our photos are so exceptional (probably every amateur gets through this stage   that our photography is  going to be selling like a Christmas trees in December:-)

So, we loaded all the different collections on the www.akelphoto.com, virtually everything we had: kids, landscapes, transportation etc. But quite fast we found  that there is no way we can compete with monsters like Alamy, Getty, Corbis. Then, in few years, microstock agencies  came into a play, and we finally understood that being very dedicated to a specific subject is the only way to get at least a small piece from the stock photography pie.
So now we leave water and only water. And I believe our water photos are exceptional:-)

The site was re-designed, improved and cleaned. Welcome to www.akelphoto.com

Stock images are licensed on a Royalty-Free basis*, we provide instant download right after a secure payment will be processed.

I am sure there will be a lot of designers who would be happy to have access to our water stock collection, so please share the info.

All the best,
