What Are Stock Photos and Royalty-Free Photos?

Stock photographs are photos that are licensed for commercial use by advertising agencies, newspapers, magazines, graphic artists, and website designers, among others. The photographer typically charges a one-time fee for use of the stock photo. The photographer often retains ownership of the stock photo, essentially “renting” the image to clients who can download stock photos online from a stock photography website. Royalty-free photos are digital or print images that are sold for a one-time fee. Royalty-free photos and images are exempt from residual commission-like earnings – also known as royalties–in the future.
