Stock Photo Pricing

What is Stock Photography?

Do you need top quality photos for a brochure, print ad, greeting card, text book, etc? Stock photos are images that have been already taken by professional photographers. They are offered for licensing with prices based on how the photos will be used.

Instead of paying a photographer to shoot a specific assignment, with no guarantee that you will get the exact image you are looking for, you can search a library of existing photos to find the right image for your project.

Can I get a stock photo that hasn't been used before? Yes.  Most images that are available from stock photography agencies are licensed for non-exclusive use and many stock photos are used multiple times.  However, you can negotiate a price for exclusive use in an industry (like Greeting Cards, Financial Services, etc.) for a higher price.

How do I find the right stock photo?  At Index Stock Imagery, you can search our collection of over one million with free text and keywords.  At each step, you can target your search for images by using our Narrow Search feature.

Who owns the stock photos?  At Index Stock Imagery, our independent artists own all of the photos.  We represent these artists and help them make sure that customer gets the stock photo that best meets their needs.

Can I resell stock photography?  No, you license stock images for a specific purpose.  You cannot use the images for something that is outside the license that you paid for.
