The best thing about using stock photography for your book cover is that you can get a great cover for a low price – either by designing your own, or by paying a designer a lower fee (if you’ve already got the photo you want to use, a lot of designers will be flexible on their price).

The problem you’re going to run into is this: the better the picture, the more people are using it for their own book cover designs.

A normal digital camera would give you a plain, boring photo – but on a smartphone/iphone you can style it easily. Make it moody, ...
