Introduction

This work is based on the illustrative photographs. Illustrative photographs are taken for many purposes for example, they provide visual examples to reinforce some message (e.g. advertisement), or provide an accurate photographic record of some object (e.g. for insurance purposes). According to Trachtenberg, 1980, “the term picture has emerged to describe those situations where the image is placed at the service of a speech, a story” (pp. 210). But t his definition is not yet sufficiently precise. In its most common meaning, "illustration" refers to any inserted an image in an editorial context. But a more skilled job it is built designate the uses of the image, in dialectical opposition to the term "photograph", which connotes its uses documentary. The illustration is first class graphics.

In the field of still image, there is an unbridgeable gap between the theories of photography illustration. Not that the photograph cannot be used for non-documentary (see above). But this use in principle to withdraw all photographic material properties usually recognized medium (Trachtenberg, 1980, 67-102). According to Trachtenberg, (1980), “stock photography and documentary photography are supposed to be included in two different worlds: the first is the business of graphic designer and a command implies a priori and the second suppose that the photographer and a subsequent publication”. The first is the communication and allows editing, editing and all forms of publishing an image that is only the medium of a message, the second is intended as a genuine document bearing of objective information, and implies rejection of any manipulation.

The photographer maintains copyright ownership and grants the use of photography to the purchaser through a wide variety of licenses (Snyder, Walsh, 1975, 148-169). Companies that engage in marketing photographs of stock work by volume, a large number of photographers send their snapshots by connecting to Internet. The photographs cover the whole range of issues. From photographs of models (necessitating licenses or authorizations signed by the model or models pictured), macro, architecture, landscapes, photocompositions, pictures of animals, nature, original designs, food, sports (Snyder, Walsh, 1975, 148-169). The client is an easy way to purchase original artwork, the legal terms very clear. Customers are very different from magazines that need photographs for articles, electronic journals, publishing companies, companies that need an attractive picture for printing in a product, etc. The advantage of the pages of Stock is working with professional photographers and amateurs depend, to submit their best photographs, which are also evaluated and selected according to their commercial potential.
