10 Of the Least Helpful Stock Photos of 2015

Dec 21, 2015



Category: Websites


As you can probably tell from our last blog post “The Importance of Images in Web Design”, we love a good quality stock photo.

As a team, we’ve spent a fair amount of time trawling through stock photos in order to find the most appropriate images for clients. But for every helpful image, there are lots of unhelpful ones, many of which leave us asking, “Why?!”

We’ve gathered together 10 of the least helpful stock photos of 2015, to show you how it shouldn’t be done. Enjoy!

 

1. These two have vowed to quit, honest: 
Young man holds a small fish, both are smoking

 


2. We love this beautiful love affair between a woman and her rye bread: 
Lady smiling at a loaf of bread

 


3. This woman appears to have baked a clipboard, and she is very excited about it:
Excited woman in an apron holding rolling pin, clipboard and wearing oven glove

 


4. A businessman with an ant’s head instead of a man’s head: 
Businessman with ant's head instead of human head

 


5. This woman can’t work out what she loves more – that shoe, or her sleek new haircut:
Lady with shop assistant behind showing her two different high-heeled shoes

 


6. Yes, we can see you:
Young man peeking out of a cardboard box

 


7. This genie dog will give you 3 wishes if you rub his belly and feed him twice a day: 
Genie lamp with dog dressed as a genie appearing

 


8. This guy hasn’t had a day off in weeks: 
Snail with mail bags attached, holding an envelope in its mouth

 


9.  Ten weeks of acting classes have paid off for this man: 
Man appearing to choke on a chicken drumstick he is holding

 


10. And finally, let’s just take a moment to appreciate the Photoshop skills involved here…
A little dog poking his head through a pile of orange and brown dog bone treats

 

 

There you have it - the 10 least helpful stock photos of 2015.
