Abstract

Characterization of the stock photography sector in the context of the information ecosystem. Its main features are described in relation to three key axes of dichotomy: contracted vs. stock photography; the editorial vs creative sector; and copyright- protected vs. royalty-free licenses. Finally, a brief review of open repositories and Creative Commons licensed images is offered.
