Welcome to

Black Stock, a picture library that believes in promoting diversity.

We cover a range of subjects, including social, archive, reportage, lifestyle and culture and aim to show the world in its true colours by focusing on people of colour the world over.

In addition to contemporary stock images, we are also building a bank of historical images in our unique archive. The archive collects prints, artwork, plates, illustrations, engravings, maps, out-of-print and rare books.

If you are a picture buyer and we do not have an image to suit you at this time, we are happy to do a search - or even undertake a commission. We assure you of a quality service at a competitive rate.

Furthermore — if you need help to "write your own script"© — whether for a report, article, copywriting brief or even for a speech — our team of professional writing associates will provide the words worth reading.

Are you a photographer, illustrator or other imaging specialist? Do you dream in colour? Care to share? Black Stock is interested in the work of photographers / digital imagers / creatives who are talented and are sensitive to our ethos.

If you want to be a part of Black Stock's vision, why not send an email attaching a sample of your work as low resolution files.
