The fully licensed Paparazzi images come from PRPhotos.com, which has over two million images under management. This is the latest addition to Shuttersong's growing commercial content library. What began with the launch of digital greeting cards from American Greetings, has grown to include exclusive branded content from Bare Tree Media, including the introduction of Garfield content in March 2014.

"We were fascinated by Shuttersong's pioneering technology and the way it lets fans unleash their creativity by bringing static images to life with music and sound," said Scott Burkhead, CEO of PRPhotos. "For fans, it's a great tool for showing their adoration for their favorite celebrities. And for the media covering them, it's a novel way to drive page views."

"Shuttersong's e-commerce and content capabilities continue to expand," said William Agush, founder and CEO of Shuttersong. "We've found that fans of all stripes – from cartoon lovers to celebrity enthusiasts – love having the ability to take high-quality images and embellish them with music and voice. This is the next wave of social imagery."
