A new company is tackling the stock photography industry’s overwhelming whiteness, one photo at a time.
TONL, created by photographer and Street Ettiquette founder Joshua Kissi and entrepreneur Karen Okonkwo, launched on August 23 with a goal to provide stock photos that feature a more diverse array of subjects and scenarios.
Kissi, a 28-year-old creative director of the company, told HuffPost that the inspiration behind the idea came from the personal experiences he and Okonkwo (who he met through his girlfriend) experienced in the media industry.

Sounds racist.
I just noticed that about 99% of the pixels on this page are WHITE.
Oh, Dang.
But, if I close my eyes, they are all black.
What to do?
From the article: “TONL has a deep social agenda, but in an age when Americans are proudly declaring themselves Nazis and white supremacists, what can diverse stock photography actually do? Kissi believes it can do a lot.”
Pretty blatant racist, anti-White propaganda.
I read another article where Getty is going to forbid Photoshopping pictures submitted to them. It seems there are too many anorexics in France, such that the French have criminalized altering commercial photos to make models look slimmer than they are. Getty’s preempting being regulated.
They should sell their diversity photos with a background mask so that they’re black-drop ready. These people are total idiots if they think stock photos are “too white.” Art directors across the country are scrambling to find appealing images with one of everybody in it, to the point of buying two stock photos, one group shot and one of whatever preferred nonwhite group is missing from the first image, then Photoshopping the added diversity in.
But my personal prediction is their business will crash harder than a North Korean rocket.
Huff-PO = Anti-White Garbage.
E R A S U R E . . .
How queer.
For the past 10+ years all stock photos I see at the bank, apartment leasing offices, corporate job sites, etc. show a diverse crowd of smiling yuppies, more women than men, with maybe a white woman or a white man among the ethnic mix. If there is a white woman and a white man, the guy is gay.
PS try searching “white couples” on google and duckduckgo image searches. Different assortment than comes up with other ethnicities.
I doubt it. “People of color” are wildly overrepresented in advertising today.
>> in an age when Americans are proudly declaring themselves Nazis
Name one.
Is there even a NAZI party in America?
What states are they registered in?
How many candidates have they petitioned to put on the ballot?
I can point to Communist parties across this country and proud Communist candidates.
Liberals think America’s ethnic makeup resembles the business class lounge at JFK.
This is the kind of advertising we see today. The stock photos, if that’s what these are, are clearly diverse. So what the heck are they bitching about?
Kissi — keep hitting the LSD there bud. What an idiot.
Let people sell the stock photography that others want to buy.
They won’t be happy until they drive the white people into the sea.
The Democrats are a catch-all. They have Communist leftists and Nazi leftists. If it’s big government, statist, racist, anti-Semitic, anti-Christian and totalitarian, the Democrats are their go-to party.
