Note:
For any of you who may be wondering what "stock"
photography is...
Stock photography
is simply copyrighted photographs that have been taken by a photographer without
being hired to capture a specific subject or event. The images are maintained
in a library by the photographer or an agency. A potential customer can check
with the photographer, or query the inventory of previously taken images
on-line, to see if an image desired is already in "stock". The customer is
able to choose from a variety of ready-made images with no waiting, or worries
about a special photo shoot. Stock images are
generally licensed only for specific usage, such as to illustrate a brochure,
book, or article and prices for this use are based on the amount of exposure that
the photo will receive. |
