Authentic.co is a curated collection of exclusive, high-quality, creative, and commercially viable imagery. We gather and share emotional storytelling imagery that depicts real people and real places. We believe in building a transparent collaborative community of customers and artists that provide valuable input to the business and community.


We see the big stock players business model of pay per download and big subscriptions as restrictive to creativity and marketing effectiveness. These models often leave the creators in the dark and customers wanting for something more. That’s why we responsibly source our photos via customer input and paying fair wages to our creators around the world.

Our team has 70+ years of combined experience in advertising, photo media, and technology. We are dedicated to creativity and customer satisfaction.

We know we are small, but we have a big future ahead of us.
