GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Kenya Robinson remembers working on a marketing campaign and searching for a stock image of a Black woman wrapping her hands for kickboxing. With over 18,000 stock photos coming up in her search, she couldn’t find the look she needed. Now she’s on a mission to restock image databases with photos of visibly Black individuals with BLIXEL:(Re)stock Image Project. “The whole idea is to address this whole notion of the stock image and kind of the role that it plays and how we might restock that,” she said. The dream is to one day release a stock image service for companies to subscribe to, and to pay her volunteers and photographers.
