Stockkuvat

Stockkuvat, also known as stock photography, refers to pre-produced images that can be licensed and used for various purposes, such as in print, web, and multimedia projects. These images are typically created by professional photographers and are sold through stock photo agencies. Stockkuvat can be categorized into several types, including royalty-free, rights-managed, and exclusive-use images. Royalty-free images can be used without any additional cost after the initial purchase, while rights-managed images require ongoing licensing fees. Exclusive-use images are purchased for a single, specific project and cannot be reused. Stockkuvat is widely used in advertising, publishing, and digital media to save time and resources, as it provides a quick and convenient way to obtain high-quality images. However, it is important to consider the ethical implications of using stock images, such as the potential for cultural appropriation and the impact on the photographers' livelihoods.
