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 Ive 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.

Hopefully, you will find them useful.

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.
