What is Styled Stock Photography?

You’ve seen it before, on Instagram, on that blog you love, all over Pinterest! Styled Stock Photography is used by brands and businesses everyday to convey a specific customer experience with their online audience. Essentially, Styled Stock Photography is a form of still-life photography that is used by marketers to help brand build visually online. From immersive visuals on a website to perfectly styled product shots on a ecommerce shop, Styled Stock Photography is the way we sell our brands online visually. The web and social media presents a unique challenge to brands and businesses that Styled Stock Photography solves. On one hand, we can use the power of the internet to connect with more people than ever and share our vision for our brands and products in a matter of moments. But on the other hand, the congestion of the internet and the lack of a real human touch online makes it harder for businesses to stand out and develop a personal connection with their potential customers. This is where Styled Stock Photography comes in. It’s trite, but a picture is worth a thousand words, and the images that you use to convey your brand, business and products to the world is an essential part of developing that personal human connection with your audience.

Maybe… You are a blogger who wants to up level their brand to attract more readers, more sponsors and more opportunities online.

Perhaps… You are a creative business owner that needs to create eye catching and drool worthy images of their products for social media or their ecommerce shop.

Or… You are an online marketer that wants to build a cohesive, and worry-free brand online!

The Digital Styling Lightroom is the Solution for You!

Why can’t I just take styled photography from online? I see people doing it all the time!

Great question! The Digital Styling Lightroom is a course that was designed to help bloggers, online marketers and creative business owners create a cohesive brand online, and unfortunately, using other peoples images online won’t just hurt your brand, it can also put you in legal trouble! Years ago it was the norm for people to turn to the internet to find images to use in their blog posts or sales pages, but now copyright laws are cracking down on internet fair use and more and more you hear about bloggers or businesses that are being sued for thousands of dollars for using an image without permission. Whenever you use an image that isn’t your own, you are taking a major risk, and I don’t know about you, but I personally don’t want to put my business at risk like that! You may also be familiar that there are now many places online you can go to purchase styled photography. Ever since copyright became a major issue for online brands, photographers and businesses have been popping up all over the place to sell styled stock images to bloggers and business owners. However, the plain fact of the matter is that if you can buy an image from one of these sources, so can anyone else, including your competitors! Remember, the Digital Styling Lightroom is all about building a cohesive band, and you can’t build your own brand and expect it to stand out online if you are using images that anyone can buy sold by photographers that are taking generic styled shots that can appeal to businesses across the board. Your Styled Stock Photography needs to be personalized and branded to YOU!
