What Is Stock Photography?
What is Stock Photography? Open up any magazine and flip through it, looking at the pictures. Unless it is a picture of a specific product being advertised or a specific person that was photographed as part of an article or ad, it is a stock photograph. Do the same for websites. As you can see 95% of all images used for commercial purposes (and to a lesser degree for editorial) are stock photographs.

What To Use For Photography Backgrounds
Every hobby has its particular gear and equipment. And if it is a profession, rather than a hobby, then, for the most part, you need to buy professional equipment. But for the hobbyist, and to a certain degree, even professionals, can get just as good results with gear that doesn’t carry the professional price tag.

Titanic: 'Based' on a true story.
Adapting a film from a true story is usually considered to be a difficult subject. It is difficult to collect information and eye-witness accounts on what actually happened during an event, especially if that event occurred multiple generations ago. Another difficulty in developing a film based on a true story is making characters within that film match up with the actual lives of the people they are portraying. Non-fiction films have existed since the beginning of the medium, telling stories of everything from the Civil War, to the sinking of the Titanic, to Pearl Harbor, and even modern films discussing the events surrounding September 11th, 2001. One relatively recent film which was critically lauded for its storytelling and broad scope was the James Cameron romantic drama, Titanic, based around the sinking of the eponymous ship. Released in 1997, Titanic tells the story of Jack Dawson and Rose Dewitt Bukater, two star-crossed lovers who meet aboard the eponymous White Star Line cruise ship on its first and only journey across the northern Atlantic Ocean. Three days into its voyage, the cruise liner hits an iceberg and sinks below the waters, killing over 1500 people. While the film does its best to accurately portray the sinking of the ship itself, the portrayal of the people on board are depicted in an expressively fictional matter. Real-life historical figures are demonized as crooks and murderers, while other events and characters are made up entirely purely to push the action further and tell a story that, for all intents and purposes, was a product of Hollywood.

How to Copyright Your Images
Just click the shutter. That’s it. You now own the copyright to that image. Within certain restrictions. And before we go any further, I am not an intellectual property attorney, nor do I play one on TV. But I am a photographer with 15 years of experience taking and selling a portfolio of around 50,000 images. So, to paraphrase the State Farm ad, I know a lot, because I’ve seen a lot.
