iStock, from Getty Images - A reliable, professional tool
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We used iStock, from Getty Images at the agency I was at for both internal projects (our website, blogs, marketing, ads, etc.) as well as on behalf of client work that needed images. Some projects were larger-scale print or billboard pieces, and some were images for social media. It varied depending on the client scope
Pros
- Image Variety
- High Res
- Quality
Cons
- Specificity
- Lots of odd photos
- DEI
Likelihood to Recommend
There are a lot of stock photo image resources out there, and a lot of the free or low-cost tools have SERIOUS limitations in finding exactly what you need. The nice thing about iStock, from Getty Images is that we could pretty much count on finding SOMETHING that would work for our project / needs, even if we had to refine it a bit.
