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. Today, stock images are available in massive online databases with millions of photos. They can be purchased and delivered online, and often, they are produced in studios using a wide variety of models posing as professionals, stereotypes, expressing stereotypical emotions and gesticulations.

Big players like Corbis, Shutterstock, iStockPhoto and Veer all have millions of pictures available for use. All those websites and the countless ads you’ve seen, they all very likely used a stock photograph somewhere, as it’s infinitely cheaper than hiring a professional photographer.
