For beginners, STOCK IMAGES is the supply of photographs which is often licensed for specific use, it is also known as “stock photography”. Stock images contains large categories of photographs such as common places, landmarks, nature, food, events and even people. You literally give your rights of you photo to some other person who is interested of using it in a commercial purpose for some bucks.

It is not compulsory that you should have professional camera, you can have regular DSLR or mirrorless camera. If you can’t still afford then you can go with your mobile phone camera still it can’t match a DSLR camera still you can have great images from your mobile phone. 

I recommend you to buy a regular DSLR or a flagship mobile phone for great experience and picture quality.

WHO REALLY PAY FOR PHOTOS AND WHAT THEY DO WITH IT?

Who really buy these pictures?, Why do they pay for a picture when you get billions of pictures for free in google?, What they really do with those pictures? I too had these types of questions running in my mind. Now I don’t have any because I made many research for this blog and concluded who really buy them and what is the exact purpose.  

It is cost effective way for people in commercial platform to obtain professional images without the cost of hiring a photographers directly.

Designers, bloggers, businessmen, advertisers, film makers, and many who has work with excellent images. There are still people who buy it and sell it for more price in later time, it also can be a hobby  for photograph collectors.

I think that this article might be helpful for your future.
