Mission
What is lobster?
Each and every day, billions of images and videos are being created which are more authentic than stock photography. But it’s time-consuming to find and source something that perfectly fits your brand, media campaign or story. That’s why we created Lobster - to do the heavy lifting for you.
Artificial Intelligence
Lobster’s Artificial Intelligence and algorithmic engineering uses image recognition alongside with metadata to find high quality (and relevant) real-time content anywhere on the planet. Content created by regular people, just going about their day to day lives - original, unusual and genuine.
Rewards
Behind the technology, our ethos is one of honesty and fairness. For every purchase, we give 75% of the fee to the contributor, as we’re keen to create a rewarding experience for everyone.
Team
This is our team. Yoohoo!

RUTH PRADA
HEAD OF CONTENT AND COMMUNITY
Ruth is Lobster’s voice, and the creator of all content across Lobster’s social channels. If you’ve ever DM’ed us, Ruth will have most likely been on the other side. Seems to be perpetually stuck in the role of being the ‘go-to’ for advice. A foodie with an unlimited supply of energy for dancing and socialising; her love to stay up to date with all things art and politics feeds into her writing and content creation.
