Additional Search Tips:

Add the keyword “choicepix” to any search to get a curated selection of our Creative Team’s favorite images.

When you start a search, think about what you would expect to see and describe the image using keywords.  The search engine uses Boolean logic, so try using words like “and,” or “not,” with and without to narrow down your search.  To view content from the “same Series” or similar, double click the asset to view the “ADP- Asset Detail page” and scroll down.  Use the keywords tagged to the asset at the bottom of the ADP to see other terms that may work for your search or words that you may want to remove from your search.

You can also search by the contributor (photographer, illustrator, videographer) and collection from the ADP. This works great if you like a particular style or subject matter.
