The generic photos that buyers use as visual content in blogs, websites, mobile apps, ads, magazines, etc. are called as stock photographs.
Stock photographs are generally sold through online photo platforms with massive repositories of photos collected from an array of worldwide sources.
Businesses prefer buying stock photos over hiring a photographer and creating custom made photographs as they're cheap comparatively.
For example, if a furniture company needs a photo of a happy family having dinner together, hiring a photographer, creating the whole setup that includes food, models, lighting, etc. would be comparatively expensive for them than just buying a stock photo.
Prices of stock photos range from a few cents to a few dollars.
Some stock websites offer packages that allow buyers to purchase multiple photos at a discounted rate.
As a stock photographer, you can click and upload your photographs on stock photo websites and earn commissions on your photographs' sale.
