Why is stock photography a problem on a business website?
Stock imagery is recognised instantly and subtracts credibility rather than adding it — it signals that nothing on the page is specific to this business. Photographs of your own completed work are unique, function as evidence, and are visibly local, which stock photography can never be.
The Problem: Overused Stock Photos
Overused stock photos can make a website look generic and unprofessional. Visitors might be more likely to click out or disengage if the imagery doesn't feel unique or relevant to their experience.
Why Do Overused Stock Photos Matter?
Overuse of stock photos can lead to:
- Decreased Engagement: Visitors may find generic images boring, leading them to browse elsewhere.
- Lack of Trust: Authentic and custom visuals are expected in today’s market. Inauthentic images might make visitors question your brand's authenticity and credibility.
