When using images of people in your product or marketing content, those images should reflect the full range of diversity across your audience.

To consider your audience and their representation across your product and marketing content, you’ll need to reflect on the following:

• examples you describe
• photos or illustrations you use
• people who may be showcased as part of a video, podcast, event, or even the content writing team

A great way to get started with creating more inclusive content is to review your current content photography and illustration to confirm that the people shown in these images reflect the full diversity of your audience.

If you find that some of your audience is underrepresented, here are some excellent stock photography and illustration resources to help you update your existing content and plan your next update with inclusivity in mind.
