Juliana Nahas is a product photographer, stylist, and art director working with brands worldwide. She is also the founder of The Stock Shop, a new marketplace for creatives to buy and sell digital assets to enhance their designs. Today on the podcast Juliana shares with us an exclusive inside sneak peak of The Stock Shop - a curated digital marketplace for creators. “The Stock Shop is launching March 2024 and we're in the process of searching for the best global talent to join our founding artists. Creators of all kinds - photographers, designers, artists, and more - are invited to submit their work for consideration to sell on the site and founding artists will receive 50% commission on all sales. What makes The Stock Shop different from other digital asset platforms is following the launch we will be creating design challenges for specific categories that our customers are shopping for. Creators can submit their work and the community will vote on the best designs - those that rise to the top will be sold on the site. This exciting process will ensure The Stock Shop hosts the best global talent, stays ahead of the trends, and provides only high-quality products to buyers.” Connect with Juliana on IG : https://www.instagram.com/julianamary/ Apply as a founding artist for The Stock Shop * Visit https://www.thestockshop.com/ to apply as a founding artist.
