Stock photography is available existing photography that design professionals can select, purchase, and use for commercial purposes. Stock photography differs from assignment photography because it is not custom made to a person's specifications. However, stock images retain the professional quality that is often associated with assignment photography. 2. Who uses stock photography? Communication professionals such as advertising and design agencies, graphic designers, magazine and book publishers, corporations, travel agencies, government and non-profit organizations all use stock photography.

As a creative professional, you know the right image can make or break your design project. With stock photography, you know you're getting professional looking images. If you're trying to achieve a professional quality in your design work, stock photography has significant advantages over other sources.

It's stock photography that you can buy and license for unlimited usage. Once you purchase royalty free stock photography, you can use and re-use these stock photos and CDs for as many different projects and clients as you wish without paying further licensing fees. "Royalty free" is actually a misnomer since royalty free stock photography is not "free." Rather, royalty free photos and CDs must first be purchased before any usage is permitted. "Royalty free" refers to the ability to reuse the images without paying an additional charge. These images remain non-transferable and you may not sell or distribute these images to others. Some select images on this site and higher resolution versions of most images are not royalty free, but rather are one-time use as designated by a Gold Star . 5.

When I buy royalty free stock photography, should I buy individual royalty free photos, or an entire stock photography CD? Which format you choose for your images depends entirely on your needs and budget. Whether you buy one stock image or an entire royalty free stock photo CD depends on the frequency with which you design for a particular subject matter. Stock photo CDs often offer good value for your money if you are planning to use more than one stock photo from a single collection. However, if you require a higher resolution version of any stock image, then maybe a single image would better suit your needs. And of course, if you are still unsure which to buy, you can always ask our sales representatives. We're always here to help. If you buy CD set and later need a single higher resolution image when available, a discount can be applied.
