If you’ve ever searched any stock photo website, sure enough you’ve seen an abundance of people isolated over a white background. Why is this? Because white backgrounds are so easy to work with, when it comes to laying out images on websites and in articles. Even if you need to cut out the person in and change the background color entirely, a clean white background makes this an easier task in most cases. As you can see in this post, we’ve just dragged and dropped a handful of square and rectangular images, and they look like they’ve already been cut out (the white page background matches the white background in the photos exactly). Here is a small seletion of some of the stock photo models and poses you will find at ArenaCreative.com
One of the biggest complaints we hear from graphic designers is, “The image is cropped, do you have an uncropped version?” This is a common issue, because there are two styles of photographing models: cropping them in camera versus leaving an edge all around, and letting the designer crop the image. Yes, there are perks to both. Bloggers, or those that want a ready-cropped image do enjoy the cropped varieties, while other designers like the freedom of being able to crop the stock photo themselves.
