Benefits of Original Photography

Well, while most business owners prefer commercially free images, we do recommend to limit its usage.

The biggest issue of commercially free images is that basically they can be used by anyone.

Imagine visiting your corporate website to find similar images seen on other websites. This may create the impression that the business is unable to afford to produce its own images and videos.

It is also extremely different to choose an commercially free image that best represent your business, leading to poor coleration between images and copywriting.
