They Call it "Stock" Photography For a Reason
I am rewriting an old ad. The old ad uses the “plant in hands with a little soil” image. I trust we are changing that, too.
I could go on and on and get all crazy on a rant about lack of creativity and being stupid and using the expected, like a guy climbing a mountain to illustrate a financial services ad or two hands shaking (one white, one black) to show your “client services” page or maybe a smiling woman (Hispanic) with a headset for your “contact us” image, but I’m not going to rant. No. But clicheimage.com is available if you'd like to start a new stock photography company (or a site about stupid ads).
