Pictures that change lives

Buy and sell digital photos through Big White Box and help charities too! Any profit the site makes goes to Oxfam, Care and Save the Children.

Photos can be purchased for £5

When a picture is sold, £2.70 goes to charity and £0.30 goes to PayPal to pay for the transaction cost. Some photographers choose to earn a royalty for their work of £2, but others (known as "Fundraisers") decide to donate that money, so their £2 also goes to charity (making £4.70 in total).
