I’ve always been open to inspiring others with things I’ve learned or that felt right to me. I hope to do that again now in an interview with Starter Story.

I’ve been running this site for 9 years now, and in that time I’ve gained some experience. In this very detailed interview, you’ll learn how it all started, which books inspired me, that picjumbo was originally a $1.99 photo site, what missteps I’ve made along the way, and so on and so forth.

Last week I was contacted by Marko from Website Planet and asked to talk about picjumbo. We talked about how it all started, what it’s all about, who picjumbo helps, and lightly touched on plans for the future.

“The story is almost like a movie: I wanted to start selling my photos on stock photo sites to create something like passive income, but all the stock photo providers rejected me. But as a freelance designer, WordPress coder, and photographer, I didn’t give up and over a weekend I created my own website, my own stock photo site, where I uploaded my photos.”

During our Italy & Austria roadtrip back in 2019 we found a really interesting place. We were heading back home from Italy and wanted to drive through my favorite Grossglockner high alpine road in Austria.

My navigation was navigating me through narrow roads in quite mountainous region and in one curve I saw something interesting: handmade wooden bench directing to a beautiful countryside landscape.

I was so amazed that I immediately stopped the car and wanted to sit there and enjoy the view for the moment.

Hello my friends! Today is my birthday so I’d love to celebrate with a sale! The first 50 annual DESIGNER plans will cost only $99/year instead of $149/year! Hurry up, only 38 left!

This means that for the special price of $99 you will get one year of access to:

• 100+ photo collections (see all collections)
• 6,000+ exclusive photos
• 50+ new photos every month
• All in One Pack (instant download of our 2,500+ free photos)
• 3 beautiful bonus fonts (delivered after one month)

Normally this plan costs $19/month, with monthly payments it’s over $200 per year.

It was a little website when it all started 5 years ago. Just a few photos, just a few visitors a day… But everything has changed over time: people were writing about picjumbo on their blogs, big magazines started mentioning picjumbo in their articles and big companies like LG or Zhiyun started using picjumbo pictures in their physical products.

These 5 years were amazing and because I love numbers and statistics, and because I’m a designer, I created my biggest infographic ever: 5 years of picjumbo in numbers.

…and you can download them all right now! Our “save your time” pack has been updated! :)

It’s time to celebrate! 🎉 Our All in One Pack now contains more than 2,000+ free stock photos from our website! Save your time, support our effort ❤ and download all picjumbo images to your computer.

Greetings from Iceland! 🎉

We are halfway through our trip and I am sure there will be some very interesting photos! We are even finding places that we have not plan on visiting and the same goes for pictures – I have photos that I have not even dreamed of having!

There are unfortunately some setbacks with a local environmental agency that forbids drones and closed down some interesting locations, but it’s manageable. Right now I have more than 1000 photos!
