Why this room exists
Human pictures, sold like a gallery and licensed like a library.
The places people still trust for pictures a person actually made tend to do one of three things well. Artist-owned libraries such as Stocksy pay high royalties and say no to generative files. Original-art galleries such as Saatchi Art and Artfinder put a name, a medium and a print behind every work. Real-people studios such as Scopio hire photographers instead of prompting a model.
Only Human Stock keeps those habits in one room: a small catalogue, a name on every file, a licence a client can understand, and most of the money going back to the maker.
01
A named maker
Every file has a person on it: where they work, what they used, and a short account of the sitting. Anonymous dumps do not enter the room.
02
A human editor
Someone on the desk looks at the picture and the statement together. If the work was generated, prompted, or upscaled by a model, it is refused. There is no “AI” filter because there is nothing to filter.
03
A fair split
Artists keep 60% of a standard licence, 80% of an extended licence, and 70% of a studio print. The share is printed on the picture page before you add it.
04
A plain licence
Standard covers websites, social, decks and ads, with print up to 500,000. Extended lifts the print cap and covers packaging and products you resell. One fee, no expiry, worldwide.
What we will not sell
- Images generated or finished by a model, even if a person typed the prompt.
- Scraped sets, unnamed stock, or files whose maker cannot be asked.
- Pictures of people who did not agree to be licensed.
