Slack pings, Zoom tiles, midday email dives; the way we see work has changed. The office isn’t just a glossy boardroom or a sterile desk setup anymore (has it ever been?). It’s light-filled rooms, shared tables, laptops open mid-conversation, and people deeply engaged — not posing, but present. Those in-between moments are where real work happens.

But ask any brand trying to visually represent the workplace and you’ll hear the same thing: finding great business content is harder than crafting the perfect subject line.

Most business imagery still reads like a paint-by-numbers version of work. Everyone smiling on cue. Lighting that whispers “generic.” Backgrounds that could be any office, anywhere. It doesn’t resonate — and it doesn’t reflect reality.

Today’s audiences are savvy, skeptical, and socially tuned. They spot the disconnect instantly. What they’re looking for feels modern, lived-in, and human. Real collaboration. Real focus. Real connection.

That’s exactly what our collection of authentic business photography brings to the table.

The images in this new collection are all about:

Authentic imagery is so much more than a trend, it’s how brands build trust and signal to their audience (prospects, partners, hires, community, etc.) that you understand the way they work because you’re showing it as it truly is. Without over-polishing.

Explore the full collection and bring authenticity to your next campaign with licensable business imagery that feels anything but stock.
