Businesswoman Working Late at Night by Dualstock
Pro-Tip: Quite a bit of stock imagery is devoid of life with regard to the environments where stock people live and work. The idea of stripping away the character of a location only reaffirms the clichés that our industry is known for — minimally styled sets that appear unlived in. We have to tell our stories without words. By subtracting too many things from your set to create a minimal environment, you’ve removed a major character from your story: the location. In other words, keep it real.
Casting Considerations: Age, Gender, and Race Diversity. Authenticity and diversity will play an important role in the success of your shoot.
