Stock Photos

We created a short presentation to tell or tutors and the rest of our peers what our individual PDP's were and to demonstrate each objective we were asked to take 'Stock images'.

'Stock photography is the supply of photographs licensed for specific uses. It is used to fulfill the needs of creative assignments instead of hiring a photographer, often for a lower cost. Today, stock images can be presented in searchable online databases. They can be purchased and delivered online. Often, these photographs involve people, and are produced in studios using a wide variety of models posing as professionals, stereotypes, expressing common emotions and gesticulations, or involving pets. Other common stock photography niches include images related to travel and tourism, as well as conceptual photography.'

This is my stock image I took to portray my objective of wanting to be able to confidently stand in front of a crowd of people to present.

This demonstrates my objective of wanting to have a wider skill range in Photoshop.

This one shows me confidently discussing photography job prices with a client.

This one shows me researching different practitioners to get a wider knowledge of who is out there, doing what.

Stock photos are often looked upon as being 'cheesy' and overly staged but they do the job of telling the viewer a literal story.
