I have created stock photography. One hopes that whoever planned these images had a specific (or at least general) niche of editorial interest they were looking to meet. Models and props are not cheap, so there was some investment in these. I hope that these ringers were just one out of a whole series done with each model and setting. Because of the cost of setting up a stock shoot, after creating the images most intended as marketable, I am all for just going a bit nuts and creating whatever crazy images can be quickly done. I mean, if one is paying a model for X amount of time, then definitely keep shooting something, anything, until the time is up.
I have also been one the other side, that is a purchaser of stock photography for web sites I create. But for the life of me I can't envision where, when, or how I might use any of these 25.
