The Art of Making Social Stock Photography Look Like Very Own Organic Images

We love how our members are always surprising and delighting us with how they use Social Squares’ stock photography and make them their own, as if they were on location directing photoshoots for their specific needs. If that’s what your customers think, don’t worry, we’ll never tell.  Your secret’s safe with us!

We know the right photography can be a tremendous asset to social media. But who has the time and resources to book photographers, stylists and creative directors when you have a business to grow?  That’s exactly why we curate thousands of social stock images that can help your social media stand out from the pack and help boost your following to the next level.

  • Your Business
  • Your Brand
  • Your Style
  • Your Voice
  • Your Social Media Platform of Choice 

Let’s consider an image of a painting that you just love. Does it have anything to do with your coffee shop business? A painting of a piping hot cup of coffee or a vivid close-up of steam coming off the top of a cup of coffee that’s so strong, you can smell the coffee, might be a great image for you. But if the image has nothing to do with your business, it’s not a good fit. Similarly, an image that is perfect for Instagram may not be ideal for your LinkedIn audience.
