Those who have a little money can go out, take a reasonable photo, p.s it, up load it and publish it to the entire world without too much technical knowledge of these production and distribution processes. On one hand, this is a beautiful way to illustrate an individual perspective - personal testimony perhaps. It can serve as a nice break from the homogenous stories/images published in the mass media. Ironically, it is such organizations that are making money out of the individual, and it is the individual who will eventually consume their product(s).

As a graphic designer from advertising i agree with you that it should have a structure if they are using the photographs as stock images.But also because of getty images and other such sites life for designer has become easier than usual.
