Stock Photography for the Web

nice blog you have, is this EE or Pm Pro ?
right now im so confuse with spam on my comment :(
CC uses pMachine
For myself, i think if i had paying projects, i too would use something like iStockphoto. Sometimes you might need a random image of a dog biting someone at 300dpi. The main thing that draws me to the site though is not having to pay enormous fees for a subscription. Buying only what you need is how it should be.
I acutally found iStockphoto when i was working with Derek, and now in all my Graphic design magazines, i see it mentioned a lot by readers. when the time comes, i can see myself using it.
I use istockphoto and another service called Dreamstime both as a designer and as a photographer.
Dreamstime pays more:
But if you are at all interested in Istockphoto, go buy some credits before they go up in price.
I can add that if someone wants to sell stock photos, use
ShutterPoint Stock
Both Inmagine and
123rf are not free but they contain of a wide varieties of royalty free stock images which are suitable for web design.
Yep, Greg pointed me to iStockPhoto the other day, and it’s a good find. Since there aren’t any models and studios involved, you can get generally high quality images without having a $200-$500 licensing fee.
