Our Vision

Inspire Your (Photo) Creativity

More joy. More freedom. We are transforming society so that everyone involved in creation can unleash their full creative potential. Born from the shared passion of a team with diverse backgrounds, cizucu is a community-based stock photo service designed to empower creators. Through the power of technology, we discover and inspire talent across the globe. Through the power of creativity, we deliver emotion and move people. Through the power of teamwork, we break conventions and foster co-creation. With a vision for a world that is "more joyful and more free," we are committed to driving social innovation starting from creators.

Our Values

1. Focus today, Change tomorrow

Every action we take forms the foundation of our growth and becomes a driving force for social transformation. That is why we approach even the smallest task with a broad perspective and high standards, giving it our full commitment. By "focusing today" and doing what must be done with integrity, we move closer to achieving our mission.

2. Think beyond

Only those who think relentlessly until the very last moment can create genuine impact. Beyond the struggle of creation and the courage to let go lies the energy that moves people. By pushing through until we "think beyond," we strive to fulfill our mission.

3. Imagine all the people

No matter how hard one works, there are limits to what can be achieved alone. We live through our relationships with people, and every endeavor moves forward through those connections. With "imagination"—a form of love—toward everyone we work with, we aspire to realize our vision.
