This video covers recent challenges that stock photography as an industry is facing. We attempt to answer questions such as "Is stock photography worth it?" and "Is stock photography dead?" We also cover sales numbers from Shutterstock and Getty Images to illustrate where stock photography is heading.

Of course, stock photography is worth it and it is not dead. But, there are many caveats this. You must evolve your work and your workflow to stay current and relevant. It is dead for casual photographer who is disappearing from the stock photography scene anyway.

If you are NOT treating stock photography as a business, it is likely a complete waste of your time.

Among challenges we cover here for stock photography are:
(1) the rise of AI imagery
(2) proliferation of free stock photo websites
(3) oversupply of stock photos
(4) slowdown in demand for stock content
(5) contributor payout cuts
and more!
