Did you know that the concept of stock photography has been around for 100 years now? While nowadays photographers and agencies upload their works to dedicated websites, the basic idea has stayed the same for a century: take a specific photograph, put it on a stock, and hope that somebody will eventually buy it. Photographs can be sold non-exclusively or exclusively, with prices ranging anywhere from 25 cents to hundreds of dollars.
Seeking to fill the most niche of requests, some photographers invent the most bizarre scenarios for their images, and stumbling upon these photographs out of context can be quite confusing. We visited a subreddit that collects the most uncanny images seen on stock photography websites, and here's what we found there.
