Author Topic: Using stock photos in sensitive content, what is too much? (Read 1918 times)

Hello,
For a long time I'm doing stock photography and sometimes see that my photo is using in some kind of sensitive content.
I want to discuss here what is OK and what is too much.
I read legal agreement on big stocks like Adobe, Shutter, Getty, they all have similar things that not all types of photo usage is allowed. For example not allowed political agitation and some offensive content.

Some days ago I found my photo and my model on sex toy package in a shop. For many people this looks too much, but others can say that it's just a product, specific product. So does anyone have experience in this, may be someone talked with stock support about it? What is "too much" and offensive content in their license meaning? Is sex toy fits this category?

I am certainly not a proven expert in this field and do not have a complete overview of the market.
But first of all, I see it as a completely normal product. Here in Germany, it is advertised discreetly in the normal media. There are also special Advent calendars before Christmas - and there's no chocolate in them.

I would see this unusual use with a sense of humor.
These products are certainly politically correct

and I do not see the content offensive in any way.
