Bruce Livingstone is a Canadian entrepreneur who founded Calgary-based iStockphoto, an online distributor of stock photography.
Livingstone started iStockphoto in 2000 as a project offering stock photos for free over the internet.
In 2002, high monthly bandwidth bills prodded him to implement a payment/credit system.
[1] In 2010, he became CEO of Saatchi Online, an internet-based art community, and later resigned his position in 2012.
[citation needed] In 2013, unhappy with the direction of iStock under Getty (and following the expiration of his non-compete agreement) Livingston founded Stocksy United, a royalty-free stock photo and video agency based in Victoria, BC.
