Traditional stock images
Traditional or Commercial stock images are settings that are posed or arranged, and often re-arranged in Photoshop. I on the other hand shot "real life" scenes, nothing posed or plastic. Of course 99% of my photos are of outdoor events and scenes, which makes it nearly impossible for me to have any control over the the elements.
Perhaps a niche market, but my photos are of real, natural and un-manipulated scenes. I do make minor color adjustments, but nothing is changed, removed or added. While some enjoy spending hours in front of their computer screen manipulating their pictures, I on the other hand prefer to be outside shooting photos.
