c23 Creative

Established New York City photographer Eric Piasecki has partnered with c23 for years. We’ve developed numerous online portfolios for his stunning lifestyle and travel photography and created distinctive identity, collateral and print promotions.

With EPP StockSearch, we’ve brought the power, flexibility and commercial promise of enterprise-grade stock search sites to the individual photographer. EPPSS clients like Martha Stewart Living, Home & Gardens, and Travel & Leisure can now search Eric’s huge archive of stock images; save image candidates in light boxes; download custom contact sheets; and place orders, all within EPPSS’ elegant, user-centric Flash interface.

EPPSS provides Eric with two hugely important benefits: it frees him from the considerable time and effort he was spending to manually respond to client requests for images that match specific criteria; and it empowers him to cut out expensive middlemen like Getty Images or Comstock when negotiating licensing rights to his work.

EPPSS uses a custom Content Management Systembuilt with Flash, PHP, Adobe Lightroom, and custom-created Adobe Air client-side applications to seamlessly integrate a workflow interface through which Eric can create image collections, embed metadata and keyword tags to images, create editorial presentations and upload final images to the site.

From thousands of entries, the site was nominated by South By Southwest’s Annual Web Awards as Best Personal Portfolio. Please contact us to inquire about bringing this powerful tool to your own photography studio.
