THE ANTI-STOCK SHOP

Cinematic Visuals, Zero Fluff, Stock Photos For Bold Brands Who Know Better.

Cinematic visuals. Zero fluff. Stock photos for bold brands who know better.

A woman with her hands in her hair wearing sunglasses and blowing a bubble with gum, wearing a T-shirt that says 'The Brand'.

I made this for the brands who give a damn.

I’m Krista — designer, creative, and forever allergic to generic visuals.

The Brand Shot is where I put my obsession with moody light, clean lines, and cheeky edge to work.

You won’t find beige mugs here. Just bold visuals that *feel* like something.

“The algorithm favors consistency. Your audience favors vibe.

— Krista
