Boutique stock agency Foto Sushi is closing its doors and selling its remaining library of images.
Founded in 2016 by experienced designers, Foto Sushi built a unique portrait library of ethnically diverse and authentic people that is incredibly easy to use compared to traditional headshots. Images are specifically set up for designers using consistent lighting making them simple to retouch, crop, and integrate into their work. The majority of the library has never been published and includes a diverse range of people across different ethnicities.
What’s Included:
Number of images: 1,990
Number of models: 265
Female models: 131 / 49%
Male models: 136 / 51%
Ethnicities:
- Caucasian: 41%
- Black: 16%
- Asian: 15%
- Hispanic: 10%
- Multi-Ethnic: 10%
- Indian: 5%
- Middle Eastern: 3%
“There has been an ongoing misunderstanding between the way photographers are trained to shoot people and what the designer actually needs. Our main goal has always been to give creatives a beautiful set of images that are flexible and easy to edit.” Says founder, Jon Anderson.
