    In my last role (not the current one), my marketing staff and I bought tons of stock photo's. Here's the problem with your question: any such purchase was the result of a marketing campaign or promotion that we were about to begin. The photo's that we would need for such efforts were entirely based on the unique creative for the campaign or promotion. So, what I needed one time had zero relevance to what I needed the next. As a consequence, any input you would get from me would basically be looking in the rearview mirror at what I needed back then and likely will have little relevance to what I need in the future.

    Your best bet would be to go to the big photo stock sites and see what they list as most popular (what they feature or promote) and see if perhaps you could add depth or unique creativity to one of those categories.

    I will add that it is ALWAYS a problem to find the specific photo that we need to convey the concept we are trying to get across. It typically involves scanning WAY TOO MANY photo's to find the right one. If we could put in very specific search criteria that covered all aspects of the photo, it would be quite valuable.

    I use shutterstock, and we more or less get elements or any backgrounds from there.

    I like photos that revolve around particular keyword terms. If an image can capture the essence of a keyword term in a photo, that's usually the photo that i buy.
