Anyone else sickened by corporate stock PR photos?

Going by this startling new evidence I'm now convinced Midget Donkeys is actually Carlos secret alter ego. :lol:

Nope. I unfortunately look like a combination of Ron Howard, Neil Patrick Harris and Carrot Top.

I have had enough of the media only showing gingers in movies that are lame. Somewhere there is a cool ginger and I demand that he become a movie star so all the little redheaded step children of the world will have a positive role model.

That's just the sort of thing Carlos would say to throw off our suspicions. And it almost worked..............almost.

Photographers CAN make a ridiculous amount of money out of this, but only those who are REALLY well equipped for this. The one from arv's video is impressive ! He's an industry by himself.

I once investigated that. And it pays so little per picture, that you have to sell hundreds and thousands of them to make a decent living out of it. Also, they need to be validated by the websites where you upload them, and they are quite strict with it, you cannot use your regular nice pictures. They have to have this very pristine/commercial look.

It's something you can only do if you have a decent studio, so it's quite impossible to start from scratch in this field.
 

I'm a multidisciplinary designer (industrial, mechanical, graphic, branding) and myself and the firm I work with WILL NOT use them (pictures of fake people), and avoid stock photography wherever possible. It doesn't look professional at all, the opposite, actually: It's lazy, undefining, and campy. I'd be embarrassed if I ran a company with any sort of decent media budget that had to resort to this sort of crap.

Ahh, you sir and your firm strengthen my hope for humanity.
