Davis, CA (PRWEB) November 21, 2008 -- BigStockPhoto.com, one of the world's largest online, royalty-free stock image providers, today announced that editorial images and photos are now available to all users.

Under the new license, photographers are encouraged to cover and shoot images of newsworthy events for submission to BigStockPhoto's new editorial library.
