I launched Selling Stock in 1990 with the goal of publishing articles that would help professional photographer understand the stock photography business and the opportunities it offers. For a couple decades many photographers earned significant additional revenue from the licensing of stock images. A large number earned their entire living by producing photos on speculation and licensing them as stock.
However, in the last decade there has been a steady and increasing decline in the ability of even the most talented image creators to earn a reasonable return for the time and money they invest in producing stock images.
Recently, I identified about 70 stories I’ve written on a wide range of topics related to the stock photography business and made them available for anyone to read – FREE OF CHARGE – at this link.

Stock agencies will start generating new images using AI trained on examples accumulated in their portfolio.

will start?! its been already happening since at least a year or so.... even i already sold image made with ai gan.
I think its pretty obvious that will boost microstock companies in some categories. But I doubt that will be for all industry specially for news and documentary stuff.

The future of stock photography... That is the best oxymoron I've heard in a long time.
