Working in the medical field it can be difficult to find specialized imagery without shooting it yourself in-house however Getty has a pretty vast library. They've also done a nice job staying up with 'mask' imagery during the current COVID pandemic which my organization had a very high demand for. You will also find the photography to be more diverse than competitors and their search engine's suggestions are usually pretty spot on.

• High Quality Old stock footage
• Backgrounds Images for presentations
• Audio Resources are also quite very well

• The price point is typically not workable for smaller orgs
• Video/Music assets are not as strong as the photography library
• Vector-based assets are often built in strange ways that aren't always easy to manipulate

Easy to search multiple images and stock footage from the past is really helping us to deliver the content fast to our viewers. It is rather more expensive to send the reporter to remote place than the overall cost of the subscription for any large scale channels who need to depend on authenticated sources.

I could probably rattle after a dozen 'stock' photo companies that tout claims such as '$1 downloads, etc.' but don't bite on them, their libraries are extremely limited and you'll end up seeing photos you've used all over the place. For example, we once used a woman for a magazine cover who I also saw on a Southwest flyer, a Home Depot ad and on a poster at my kid's school all within a few months. It waters down your brand.
