I am constantly appalled by the lack of imagination in stock photographs that often illustrate great articles online. Even in major publications. As a photographer and a blogger I make an effort, why cant editors?
From the comments: As a freelance writer, I browse through stock photos quite a bit. I’m AMAZED at what passes for “sex” in the stock photography world. Do these people ever have any?
