RGB Ventures Inc., a collaboration of Rubberball, Glow Images, and Blend Images, announced their purchase of SuperStock. This group of photo industry veterans intends to build on the images and services that creatives, art buyers, and their campaigns have come to depend on from SuperStock over the past 30 years. SuperStock's unique collections include The Bridgeman Art Library, Underwood Photo Archives, age fotostock, and a host of the most visually creative and diverse photographers and artists gathered over the course of three decades. Superstock will be operated as an independent company and will remain in Jacksonville, FL. The company will also continue to operate an office in the United Kingdom. Lanny Ziering, one of the founders of Blend Images, will serve as CEO of SuperStock.

“The most attractive part of buying Superstock is that we are acquiring a company with a large base of loyal customers, a highly talented staff, and a world-class library of content. Even in a bad economy, that is a winning combination.” said Ziering.

“Superstock’s image library has both breadth and depth. The Vintage, Fine Art and Editorial stock collections are very strong; and with RGB’s collective Commercial content experience, Superstock will be a great stock resource for end users and content distributors.” said Alan Bailey, President of Rubberball Productions.

“I always think it’s exciting when photographers own and manage photo agencies. By offering strong photographer support, great imagery is sure to result,” said Rick Becker-Leckrone, CEO of Blend Images
