By examining vast amounts of stock-photos, certain two central 'parameters of success' was laid out; 1) Scale-ability 2) Emotional response
Scale-ability relates to the question of application; the more generic the content of the photo is, the more it sells. Examples:
- Most often stock photography refrains from depicting factual events. Instead it seeks portray particular moods, feelings or 'states of being' all known to western cultures: Success, happiness, melancholy, love, pain, etc.
