Don’t know if it’s a full time job, but I work with stick photos for a range of clients, and there are some people you see pop up in dozens of pics, covering all sorts of differing scenarios. There’s one particular older woman, with very short white hair, who I’ve seen over and over and over again, it’s weird.
Comment on Are people in the stock photos real?
Ziggurat@sh.itjust.works 3 months agoBonus question, was being a stock photo model a “full time job” or it was more an actor/model job that you do between more interesting projects ?
That said, with the ridiculous price of stock photo, and the remaining glitches in AI model, not sure whether it’s really cheaper to generate an AI image (Need to get high resolution image, and to review them, you don’t want a bad buzz because a necklace didn’t close or whatever glitches are left) . It’s basically depending whether some stock photo bank have implemented a natural language search.

I’m not certain if it’s a full-time position, but I’m aware there are part-time model agencies that hand out odd jobs here and there. The ones I’ve come across were for clothing catalogues and so on, but I imagine they exist for stock photos too.
