Hi! it's the first time I read a post with that approach. I think most of the bloggers here choose to get free resources and add them to their posts, I'm not saying it's wrong, however I agree with what you say about the originality and value that original pictures give to a post. Personally and since I started in hive, I think I only use stock photos in one occasion, otherwise, all my posts are made of 100% original content, which implies: more work, more time and of course more originality as a result. I think it is important and interesting your proposal to monetize the photos here, I think there are people who would buy it, but I think that many would not.
Happy afternoon, by the way, nice pictures!
