| Thanks for setting me straight, Harriet.
If you have the attention of anybody at iStock, I'd appreciate your support in my campaign to have them add a filter for realistic vs. "stylized" tableaus, and to have each image only appear once in search results.
Re: [AE] stock photo sites
istock also has a feature where you can narrow down your search results to either “Creative” or “Editorial” (checkbox in the left-hand column. But “Editorial” isn’t just a name for more realistic/documentary-style images. “Editorial” means un-released images that can only be licensed for editorial purposes ie. for newspaper and magazine articles, blog posts, websites, documentaries, TV news etc. Not for commercial use. See this article for an introduction to using Editorial images:

Getty would be the go-to source for realistic "editorial" photos, but at $1000+ for even a local single-run TV ad. Most of my clients are running state races or for the US House, and are paying me about $2K/ad, and they're just not going to buy off on $6-10K for stock images. Getty also has a nice feature in their search engine which lets you choose between "creative" or stylized (usually hokey) setups, or "editorial" realistic/documentary style images.
