Images of people are normally rather expensive. Try a search on Google for Royaltyfree Images. Or go to www.matton.com

some stock photo sites have them - but some aren't too good.

Most proffessional people take the photos themselves.

they are asking for one picture this price

1-3MB - 72 dpi - 9"x12" - RGB $ 99.00 USD


and that is the most cheapest, is it really that expensive???? :s

Make a search on Google and youll get plenty of stock photo options. Like this link.

I browsed through the sites, all of them are with paying if you want to use them in templates, and they are all very expensive... or did you find a site between those where the pictures are totally free?

tnx in advance:)

You wont find any sites with free images of people I think. I was jaust giving an example of a site found when searching on Google. There are subscription sites too like.....
http://www.photos.com/en/index?nvc_c...966&PID=309212

the problem is that i do want to pay for it, but not like over 100$ for one pic,or for a limited period, i just want to pay for picture by picture... is it always that expensive?

When it comes to pople I think so. Or you can buy a CD rom collection like Nova Art Explosion with 500 000 images on 36 dc's for about 100 dollars ( I did, but you dont get the highest resolutions or the quality ).

Or check some free sites like www.freeimages.co.uk but you wont find people there.

you say that you don't get high resolutions or quality, but can you use it good?

As I mostly do webpages and not that much print, its a ideal package for me, the bitmap images are at the most 1024 pixels wide. Whats more, there are 250 000 vector images I can import directly into Flash, which is my main program.

are there also business men in it etc?

Yes ,some. It was some time I looked, but I remember using some on a project.

I have a question, can you add me to your msn?

I'm a programmer/website guy/photographer...

If you want a specific photograph...I might be able to help. Let me know specifically what you want...

I'm by no means professional, but I do have a few photographs published in various books and magazines.

I recommend you try to take your own shots. You'll save money, have shots that are more tailored to your needs, and you learn a new hobby.

There are plenty of sites out there that you can learn from to develope photography skill. Try sites like www.photosig.com and you'll get great feedback. Read the feedback others get too....it will let you know what professional shots require.

try http://********ty1.com and choose creative>>(one of the submenus).

Search then when you find an image you like, click 'wodnload comp'. You'll get the picture with a watermark that you can crop off.

Hope it helps.

I would guess that it is illegal to crop copyrighted pictures. I believe they watermark them so that you must use the watermarked versions with the watermarks...

Is it the case ? I may be wrong.

I bought one of those art collections a while back but somehow never found images in them that suited my projects. Maybe it´s because I´m too much of a perfectionists and I won´t use pics that don´t look exactly like I need them :)

So I bought myself a pretty cheap digicam and really you won´t believe what you can do even with cheap cams that go for like 100$.
It´s also very much fun and challenging to shoot pictures for your sites. Not only do you end up with exactly the kind of pics you need, you also have a lot of fun... especially when you have to make pics of businessmen and other people. Working with people is just so much fun, especially when you´re doing photos... and even more especially when you´re shooting girls heheheh :D

My suggestion: Buy yourself a cam.
