Create photorealistic corporate imagery (business meetings, team collaboration, office scenes) and sell as stock photography on platforms that accept AI content.

Why it works

Businesses need generic but high-quality images constantly. Real photo shoots are expensive and require model releases. AI can generate indistinguishable photorealistic people and scenes.

Step by step

  1. Research best-selling stock photo themes (diverse teams, technology, collaboration)
  2. Use AI with camera-specific prompts for photorealistic output
  3. Generate 20-30 variations of popular concepts
  4. Upscale to at least 4MP resolution
  5. Submit to Adobe Stock or another platform that accepts AI content, with AI disclosure

Tools you'll use

  • Midjourney
  • AI Upscalers
  • Adobe Stock
  • Freepik

Chuck's pro tip

Check each platform's AI policy before you upload. Adobe Stock and Freepik take properly labelled AI images, but Shutterstock does not accept AI-generated submissions from contributors, so skip it or your work gets rejected. Focus on diversity and modern business concepts. Raw style parameters produce more stock-appropriate images.
