You know, I somehow missed that. It’s relatively subtle on that background. Good question though. Stock photo sites have tons of weird images, I guess they figure the more variety the better and there’s always the chance someone will need it.
Like maybe you need a photo to illustrate a news story on naturist reaction. You don’t want a censored image, as that would clash with the tone of the article but nothing too explicit either… And there you go, it’s just a butt shot, and he’s holding a ball which says “recreation” so it’s prefect.
