We were attracted to the weirdness of stock photography

It’s a mixture of Skymall catalogues, aspirational lifestyles, and art references. For one recent story that focussed on disrupting the family-friendly side of stock imagery, we searched stock sites for “wholesome” imagery—finding that term meant fruits and vegetables, household chores, and healthy-lifestyle choices. We combined these elements with censored nudity, off-kilter Old Navy styling, and an unhealthy obsession with flip-flops.

Fun project, but less weird than what actually exists at http://awkwardstockphotos.com/
