Fashion Stock Photography Key Terms


You may discover a business need for fashion photograph images for any number of reasons; possibly for advertisement, promotion or even office decoration. Depending on the specific business goals, hiring a professional photographer for custom fashion photography may be out of the question.

Fashion stock photography makes high-quality fashion photography accessible for anyone, from highly priced photos by internationally renowned photographers to basic, free images. By learning the fashion stock photography key terms, finding the right image might be a quick Internet search away.

Fashion photography

Fashion photography is used to display and promote apparel, accessories and shoes, most often in magazines and advertisements, and leaves much room for creativity, artistic representation and unique style for photographers.

Stock photography

Stock photography is a group of existing photographs (often used by advertisers, graphic artists and publishers) for which a license can be purchased for a specific purpose.

Royalty-free stock photography

Royalty-free stock photography means that a royalty does not need to be paid each time the image is used, only a one-time fee that allows use of the image multiple times. There is usually no time limit, and no rights owned by anyone, meaning photos can be resold many times by the photographer.

Rights-managed stock photography

Rights-managed photography is much like renting the image; the buyer and seller agree upon a price that depends on factors such as the intended use of the photo, the length of time it will be used and what size it will be.

Stock photo agency

Stock photo agencies either buy photos outright from photographers, or represent photographers by advertising their photos and negotiating with customers for a percentage of the license fee.

Stock photo repository

A stock photo repository is a digital storage of photos, searchable database or image library of fashion photographs, but is different from an agency in that the images do not always require a fee or licensing.
