This week sees the launch of an exciting and comprehensive new e-commerce website by renowned aerial photographer, Jason Hawkes.
The site features a unique collection of over 10,000 exclusive shots all taken from the air, and covers thousands of search terms, from the popular to the more obscure.
Best of all the site has been designed to be extremely user friendly, containing all the latest Web 2.0 features expected from stock agencies such as multiple lightboxes, downloads for comps and high res files you can download straight to your desktop.
As a specialty niche collection, the depth and breadth of the images will attract buyers looking for something just that little bit special.
As Jason Hawkes explains, "While other sites might include famous locations shot in a geographical way from the air, this collection goes way beyond that and includes thousands of aerial views that are location unspecific but are visually very graphic.
For example, you'll find shots of both man-made and natural patterns that aren't visible from the ground and the fact that these shots could have been taken anywhere in the country makes them extremely versatile in their potential applications."

For artist Lori Earley, painting what is beautiful comes both from inspiration within and from the outside world of cutting-edge fashion.
Inspired by the imagination of high-end fashion icons such as Alexander McQueen or the exotic wardrobes of Jennifer Nicholson, Earley's stunning portraits of esoteric women evoke mood and form as equally poignant and delicate as the textured gowns they wear.
Each elegant and edgy oil painting requires a mastery of technical skill and painstaking execution.
"Every painting begins as an idea stemming from my subconscious," says Earley.
As a preliminary creative process, Earley translates her ideas into multiple sketches for her evocative backgrounds or minimalist landscapes.
The artist arranges a photo shoot in her studio with a model to enhance mood and accuracy of pose and figure.
Earley then creates a final sketch from her photograph of the model, and only then begins her painting in oil.
For her new series of portraits, Earley's models pose in original Jennifer Nicholson couture dresses.
The celebrity fashion designer is an avid collector of Earley's work.
Through this innovative approach, Earley succeeds in capturing a unique quality of the fashion designer's vision and transforms it into a new artform.
