What are stock photographs?
These are photographs not taken for a specific client or purpose that are available for use via a license. Stock photographs are commonly used in three general areas: commercial (advertising, packaging, displays, etc.), editorial (news articles, textbooks, educational materials, etc.), and personal. Stock photographs are usually licensed for a specific time period and for a specific use. Exclusive use can be purchased which will prevent the same photograph from being used by two competing businesses or organizations.
