Where do these photographs come 
from? 
• Stock Photos sites like Shutterstock, 
GettyImages and Images Bazaar 
• Snapwire(but that’s still picking up) 
• Custom Photo shoots at the head agency 
studio.
Why not then use a local 
photographer and setup? 
• Cheaper than stock photos. 
• Your photo shoots are your own. 
• Local, regional and ethnicity control. 
• Can shoot regional celebrity cheaper. 
• They can cover your local brand events as 
well.
So how do photographers reach 
brands?
