About Steve Davis
Founder of Blink Origin
Hi I'm Steve,
I built Blink Origin because finding the right stock photo should take seconds, not evenings.
When I'm not building platforms, I'm usually behind a camera observing the world.
Blink Origin — every photo, an original memory captured in the blink of an eye.
I'm excited to capture this wonderful world we live in and share it with others.
Look after our planet.
See you inside,
Steve
About BlinkOrigin
What this site is
BlinkOrigin is a stock photo library built around one idea: you should find the exact image you need in a blink, not after twenty pages of thumbnails. Every photo is classified against a deep, admin-curated filter tree — categories, subcategories, tags, time of day, colour, motion and quality — so a precise search returns a precise result.
The name
The Kanji mark above reads 瞬源 — shun (瞬), the blink of an eye, and gen (源), origin or source. The source you reach in a blink. The design of the site follows the same Japanese sensibility: minimal, quiet, and fast, with nothing on the page that doesn't earn its place.
Who runs it
The BlinkOrigin team operates the platform, and it's owned by Helium22. You can reach us at support@helium22.com or through the contact page.
How the site is funded
BlinkOrigin takes 30% of each sale to cover storage, bandwidth and development; the other 70% goes to the photographer. There is no advertising and we don't sell user data. See How It Works for the full picture.
Content standards
Photos are uploaded by registered authors who confirm they hold the rights to what they publish. If you believe an image infringes your copyright, contact us with the photo's permanent ID (shown on every photo page) and we will investigate promptly.
