Major Problem of Stock Photos

What’s the problem with stock photos? Most people, who deal with this kind of content regularly, will define it quickly: stock photos limit diversity. Just check them – and you get surrounded by thousands of stereotypes:

  • Remember “Oh salad, you are so funny” meme?
  • Remember all those business people that look like identical twins shaking hands all day long?
  • Why do obese people lose weight non-stop? And why is fitness only for young people?
  • Why do all families hug each other like there’s no tomorrow?
  • Why do freelancers work on the beach?
  • Why don’t transgenders have a life but fighting for their rights?

No doubt, you can get add more points to the list right off the top of your head. That what makes the work with stock photo content hard and time-consuming:

  • you need to spend hours or even days to find the not-so-stereotypical photo – and for some topics that doesn’t seem possible.
  • you are limited to characters and compositions offered in the gallery – to change them, special software and skills are needed
  • the choice of model types does not vary for different social models, so you risk getting your project or article look like anyone’s else.

That’s the problem solved by Photo Creator.

Fast gallery growth to empower the diversity of photos is now also supported by AI – and rocketing. The background removal goes way faster due to artificial intelligence dealing with the clipping process.
