We launched this library during Disability Pride Month 2026. We're building it in the open — and we need you.
Real authenticated images, self-authored by disabled creators.
Photographers and models welcome. Submissions open today.
Every commercial use splits revenue direct to the creator.
Free to use, globally, in commercial and editorial work.
This isn't about representation. It's about authority. Every model below chose their own lighting, their own costume, and their own story.
Traditional agencies keep up to 90% of revenue. Alt-Frame was built as a mutual aid engine. When you license their work, you aren't paying a corporate middleman—you're funding the next sovereign production.
"I wasn't a prop in a wheelchair. I directed the lighting to reflect my technical expertise. I wanted people to see the skill first, and the mobility aid as just another tool in my kit."
"Most stock photos show us looking sad in the corner. I wanted velocity. I directed the long exposure shots myself to prove that my mobility isn't limited—it's just a different frequency."
"I chose the high-contrast lighting to highlight the details of my prosthetic. It's not something to hide in the shadows anymore; it's the most high-tech piece of gear in the room."
"Silence isn't an absence; it's a focus. In this library, my creative direction is translated directly into the pixels without a hearing 'interpreter' deciding what looks right."
"My ADHD isn't a distraction in photography; it's a hyper-focused lens on detail that most people miss. Alt-Frame allows me to capture the world in high-definition honesty."
"Binary categories in stock libraries are a relic of the past. We're building a spectrum. Every photo I approve is a refusal to be boxed into legacy demographics."
We don't use AI to guess what's in the frame. Every creator writes their own descriptions, ensuring that context, identity, and intent are preserved for screen readers.
Traditional stock libraries profit from our stories while keeping the creative direction in a boardroom. We've flipped the script.
// Audit based on 2025 agency procurement standards
Every asset is created, directed, and authored by disabled and BIPOC individuals. No actors pretending to be us. No clinical hospital shoots. Just authentic narratives made from lived experience, not corporate assumptions.
Using unvetted, misrepresentative imagery isn't just an ethical issue — it carries real legal and reputational weight that any organization using media should understand.
Accessibility-related lawsuits filed against organizations in 2025 for missing or inadequate alt text.
Typical cost for manual accessibility auditing of legacy creative after the fact.
The cost of 'pity-porn' backlash from disabled communities in a high-accountability media environment.
Every minute you wait is another campaign vulnerable to accessibility litigation and ethical misalignment.
Zero stock. Zero AI-generation. 100% lived experience captured in the field.
Visualizing the essential bond between humans and their service animals in high-stakes environments.

Every asset is pre-vetted for WCAG-AA compliance and creator sovereignty.
"A Black woman looking thoughtfully off-camera, bathed in warm amber and cool teal lighting, resembling a spacecraft's control deck."
"A person in a manual wheelchair captured in a dynamic, long-exposure light trail effect resembling warp speed through a neon-lit tunnel."
"A person in a dark room holding a futuristic prop device, illuminated by deep indigo and green hues reflecting off their face."
"Finally, a stock library that doesn't feel like a hospital brochure. The imagery is stunning and the self-authored alt text changes the whole workflow."
"The fact that high-quality alt-text is already baked in — written by the people in the photos — is something I didn't know I needed until I had it."
Stock photography is a legal and representative liability. Alt-Frame turns compliance into a strategic advantage.
Average settlement for digital accessibility lawsuits: $20,000–$100,000+
Alt-Frame protects 100% of your production spend by delivering pre-indemnified and pre-authored metadata that survives brand safety audits.
An accessible, intersectional media archive led by creators and powered by cross-movement solidarity.
