Instead of stock images, I clicked photos myself.
Readers stayed longer, and comments increased.
Real visuals connect better.

Is it worth the time/effort you put in that ?
and what about niche where you can't take pictures youself ? do you pay someone to do them

What do you mean by personal photos? Is it not against your own privacy? Or you mean photos clicked by own mobile? Will quality not be compromised there?

It totally depends on the objectives for this blog. If you're passionate about this and trying to build a brand then totally justified. But some people manage multiple blogs, it boils down to cost to output ratio for them. As long as your content is engaging, stock images are just fine.

What do you mean by real photos ? Most of the photos on stock sites are also real photos . It is just these days that there are AI images being submitted tmon these websites.

They are working for you most probably because your article viewers could relate to such photos. That is ahy the posts also start performing good.

Nowadays I would create an AI photo instead of depending on real photos or stock photos, a few years ago the quality was trash, but we're almost in 2026, there are great AI photo generators that you could use for your blog, like Gemini
