Gallery: Postcards from the Stockisphere

Many stock photos are aspirational in nature – meaning they sometimes appear more colorful, attractive or clear-cut to get the point across fast. These images act like a visual metaphor - they’re not really about capturing ‘real life’ but more about presenting concepts in a simple and accessible way.

These images, outside the context of the poster / brochure / presentation etc. often have a bizarre, theatrical, even surreal / other-worldly quality. This gallery is a celebration of that stranger side of stock photography.
