Need help finding and buying photos?  Follow this simple step-by-step guide.


Step 1 - Find your photos

Photos have been broken up by each of the different legs.  Within each leg, the photos are sorted chronologically (so if you were in an early wave, your photos will occur early within each gallery...conversely if you were in a late wave, your photos will appear toward the end of each gallery).

Once you've found your photos, click the 'Select Photos' button on the top right of the screen. 


This will allow you to tick each image you want to buy.  Once you have ticked all the photos from that gallery, go to the 'Buy' menu and choose 'Save photos for purchasing later':


Repeat for each gallery.  Once you have selected all your photos click the 'Favorites: Selected For Purchase' link in the top left corner of the screen.  From here you can choose to 'Buy All' where you can select formats and quantities.

Step 2 - Add your selected images to cart and choose a format

Choosing which product to select should start with the question; "what am I going to use the image for?"  Answering that is half the battle, the rest is simply down to your preferences and budget.  Read on for a detailed description of each product.


Large JPEG:  This format is for those who want a high res file to make their own large prints and various other products such as banners, canvases etc. This product is the perfect option for teams who want to create their own multiple prints of the same image(s) for multiple team members.


Prints are perfect for those who want something ready-to-frame so they can hang it on the wall without any of the hassle of printing.  SOK Images offers the following print sizes

  • 5 x 7 inches - traditional format that will require slight cropping of the original file*
  • 8 x 12 inches - modern format to fix the aspect ratio of original files

*Customers are able to set their own cropping when selecting these formats


Step 3 - Stand by for delivery!

All photos shown are unfinished web proofs and all orders are individually optimised before delivery to ensure the highest quality image possible, regardless of size and format. Electronic orders (JPEGs) are delivered by email after processing so please ensure you provide the correct address and keep an eye on your Spam/Junk folder just in case it ends up there!!
