Once a towering giant in the world of stock photography, Corbis holds a unique position in the history of image licensing. Founded by Bill Gates in 1989, Corbis built a massive archive of iconic photographs, historical images, and contemporary artwork, capturing the breadth and depth of human experience. Beyond its impressive collection, Corbis pioneered innovative ways to manage and distribute digital images, paving the way for the online image licensing
industry as we know it today. Though its ownership has changed hands over the years, Corbis' legacy continues to resonate in the world of visual media, reminding us of the power and potential of imagery to inform, inspire, and shape our understanding of the world.
