I wonder what a work day is like for the person who comes up with the concept for the stock photos
They've gotta just take random nouns from a list and mash em together, right? "Let's see, I got 'cyborg', and... 'corn'. Alright, Jennifer, let's get you into that shiny unitard. Where's catering? Someone get me an ear of corn from catering! Raw, dammit, with the husk!"
My best guess is that they hope some agriculture or GMO company might have a use for it. Basically crops + future theme. Maybe they were trying to stand out from the likely vastly more common corn + person in lab coat?
Imagine waking up in the morning and thinking to yourself. "Yes. Today I am going to go to my job as a photo model and put on a Geordi LaForge visor, a metallic skintight suit, and pose with an ear of corn"
