Unpopular opinion: stock photos aren't always the enemy. 🤔
Everyone says "use real photos, never stock" — but a well-chosen stock image can outperform a bad real one every time.
The real problem isn't stock photos. It's using generic, obviously-fake ones that feel disconnected from the brand.
Agree or disagree?
