"Since Shutterstock Studios' inception in November 2020, the team has rapidly 
established itself as a key player in the industry, and as a premier end-to-end 
creative content solution partnering with some of the world's biggest brands 
and companies like Amazon, ITV, BBC and Microsoft," said Jamie Elden, Chief 
Revenue Officer at Shutterstock. "This is an exciting time for our Studios 
division, as we expand our content production into longer form storytelling, 
aligning with industry trends and the demand we are seeing for this content

powered by one of the largest archival collections in the world, including 
exclusive access to the Condé Nast Collection, A+E Networks Archive, the LIFE

platforms and production mediums."

Led by Aiden Darné VP and Global Head of Shutterstock Studios - formerly a VICE 
Media executive - one of the first projects is a docuseries featuring Jimmie 
Johnson, the seven-time NASCAR champion and American professional racing 
driver. This docuseries was produced in partnership with Carvana, a Fortune 500 
company that fosters an intuitive and convenient online car buying, selling,

The eight-part series, titled "Reinventing The Wheel," gives global viewers an 
all-access, behind-the-scenes look at Jimmie Johnson as he navigates his second 
INDYCAR season after an exceptional career in NASCAR racing.

"Racing fans know just how thrilling it is to watch a race live from the 
stands, and it was fantastic to bring that electrifying atmosphere to viewers 
worldwide," said Darné. "We are so excited that our first entry into the 
high-demand world of documentary storytelling is in partnership with Carvana. 
It's been amazing to capture the intimate moments of the career switch of 
Jimmie Johnson – one of the greatest race car drivers of all time."

"We continue to be inspired by Jimmie's commitment as he's forged this new path 
in his racing career," said Carvana Chief Brand Officer and Co-Founder Ryan 
Keeton. "Our team was excited to collaborate with such talented partners on the 
Reinventing the Wheel docuseries to bring such unique and exclusive access as 
Jimmie faces this exciting next chapter. Carvana has always stood for 
challenging the status quo and we see that same drive and passion in Jimmie."

"Reinventing The Wheel'' is just one of several shows that Shutterstock Studios 
currently has in production. A second show, titled, "The Money Shot" follows 
celebrity photographer Miles Diggs, aka Diggzy – the man behind famous images 
like Rihanna's pregnancy photos. The feature-length documentary will provide an 
intimate look at the rise of fame and celebrity culture in America from 
Diggzy's unique point of view, as well as from the voices of those who know it

stages of development and production that will take viewers around the world
