When I was 19 years old, there was still compulsory military service in Germany but I refused to serve my country with a weapon. That's why I had to do medical service for almost 2 years. I had to do basic training in a hospital and I thought it would be like on TV, but I have never met people as relaxed as the surgeons back then. Hasty behaviour or even running staff are extremely rare in hospitals.

Regardless of these pictures’ reputation, many companies still use stock photos for their websites and advertisements. Curious about why that is the case, why it isn’t good for business, and what the best alternatives are, we did some research and came across an article by Business.com that told us everything we needed to know.
To begin with, the article first explained that stock photographs are created by third-party professional photographers and sold online for use by other companies. Most of them cost no more than a dollar a piece and only grant permission to use.

Librarian here. If these folks are pointing instead of poking, these images are completely realistic. Though a since-retired colleague did have a habit of poking her old CRT monitor with her sharpened pencil. Her new LCD screen bled to death less than an hour after she got it.

An important part of some librarians' jobs is helping people find stuff. Nowadays that often means finding stuff online, and sometimes right in front of the people who are looking. I'll give people a pass on the top left, but anyone who doesn't recognize that the other 3 are of people pointing isn't the sharpest tool in a box of sponges.

If a person or a company wants something that’s not featured anywhere else online, they can also buy high-quality images with exclusive rights to them. However, with this option, the price goes up significantly, and a license for a single picture might rise to thousands of dollars.
Since the first method saves time and money, it may appear to be a good option. But if we look at the research and the numbers, it shows that the truth is that companies’ visuals have a much more significant impact in this digital age than one might think.

But then again, archeologists don't dig up dinosaurs. And I, an archeologist, have used a pick axe! Or maybe this is the picture of an archeologist getting angry at paleontologists and destroying their objects of science?
The main problems with stock images start with being overused, inauthentic, and out of touch. As mentioned before, they cost little and are easy to get, which is why you can find the same pictures featured in many different places online.
In addition to that, these images are rarely made for a specific purpose, focusing more on having just enough to connect to the basic idea, which makes them generic and makes you seem disconnected from your clients and your own business for using them.

Chris Henderson 2 years ago
If I'm at the beach on a warm and sunny day - there is no business suit and laptop - only a swimsuit. Also, as an IT guy, I don't recommend taking a laptop out on the beach. The sand can get inside your vents and short out components inside the device. If it's a company issued laptop - your IT guy may have some strong words to say to you afterwards.
Another thing is that while more and more diverse and inclusive stock photos are making their way online, this wasn’t always the case. In the not-so-distant past, most of these images were primarily focused on white people, making it challenging to find the right fit if a company tried to show its diversity and inclusion or simply be proud of its roots.
Lastly, it’s no stretch to say that these pictures are often cliched. They might be intended to be relatable and make you imagine yourself in the situations they depict, but more often than not, due to their lack of uniqueness, they only inspire mockery and laughter.

They have computer rooms where they keep track of every railcar in the country and can move them, in a yard, from said computer room.... this guy is on break texting his wife... or playing MineCraft, The stock photographer liked this color helmet to complement the equipment in the background and his vest.
But you don’t have to pay thousands of dollars to have a few good images on your website and ads, because the article suggests better ways to get them. For example, you can hire a professional photographer or a talented graphic designer to make something that captures the essence of your company and the idea you want to pass on and creates something unique that no one else has.

He doesn't seem to have any other marks on him and he's not straining his face much so this probably isn't very severe. A straitjacket or restraints of any kind aren't warranted for mild self injury like biting yourself and not even breaking the skin. Those kinds of interventions are often traumatic and make the situation worse, and should be used as a very last resort or not at all.

Are we saying it’s unrealistic for a mental health professional to have a client who bit themselves? Because, we’ve had one in the past week. Biting himself is not his typical means of self harm but I think under the current circumstances was all that he could come up with because he didn’t have access to anything else he could use to harm himself. But sitting calmly watching a client do that and taking notes is not exactly how we respond.

My daughter would bite herself out of frustration and stress, and feeling guilty of doing something wrong, making a mistake. She had bruises and bite marks all over her arms and hands. At first I was very scared, but after some counselling I realized it's not severe self-harming and she's since drastically reduced the amounts of times she bites herself. The times I've caught her I helped her go to her healthy emotional control exercises given to her by her counsellor.

I thought this was a "Don't pretend to be a zombie to make people acknowledge you" instructor.
You could even encourage your customers to take and submit pictures of your business and use what they send in. This will not only reduce the money you spend but will also provide you with photos that will probably be a lot more authentic and relatable than anything made professionally.
But if none of that seems like the right choice, there is nothing wrong with using quality stock pictures. It just requires a little extra effort to find the good ones that are not being used by anyone else. Who knows, you might just hit the jackpot.

Ultimately, there are a lot of factors that can impact a company’s decision regarding what kind of pictures to use for their representation. Even some of the ridiculous stock photos can be the right choice in some situations.
However, the most important part is to calculate the importance of this decision and act accordingly. After all, you don’t want to use images depicting your profession so absurdly that they make fun of them online.

Also the book and the math on the board appear to have no relation to each other. The book is L'affinité des traces. Description of book (via google translate) is - "Early sixties, in France. To escape the husband and the future that have been chosen for her, Edith Behr, a young Jewish girl, enlists as a secretary in the army. Assigned to a base in the Sahara, in the middle of the Algerian war, she discovered otherness among the Tuaregs, the people of the desert with veiled speech. The stars will then mark the path for her to follow. A novel with secular resonances in touch with our times, The Affinity of Traces takes us on an adventure at the borders of two worlds, in the footsteps of a woman master of her destiny."

I had a trainer that was helping me with core workouts to help my lower back. One morning, doing crunches with my legs draped over a ball, I was just going at it, he wanted a high, staggering amount of crunches so towards the end I had quite the grimace and my eyes shut. Done, I open my eyes to see something in my peripheral vision, turning to face him, laying on the floor, almost close enough to touch noses and he says ‘we will do this until you tell me you hate me’ his fun way of getting me to work harder! I smile and tell him ‘nah, I know this is all for my benefit!’ He jokingly scowls and says I am impossible to work on or over, I must hate one of the exercises that he tortures me with, that I have to at least strongly dislike one. Taunting him now, all I can say is ‘some of these are really difficult at the start but as we both know, it is all for my well being.’ Score one for me!!
