Stock Photography

Does anyone know of a good place for inexpensive stock photography? I've been looking for good images for yoga poses that aren't going to break the bank, but have had little luck.

Thanks!

Have you tried istockphoto.com?

 

I second istock, they are good and cheap.

 

it's hit or miss... but the stock here is mostly free - http://www.sxc.hu/

sxc.hu is good, thanks for the link guys.

 

that's why we're here

 

You could also try http://www.photocase.de .
I use them from time to time...

 

I concur with I-stock.com
They are awesome.
Im in the process of redoing my site, and spend only $25 for the images for the entire site!

 

Hi Wendy,
Try Morguefile...

I've been using photos.com. It is subscription based and it is pretty good. Here's a link to some yoga poses:
photos.com/en/search/index?srch=Search&big=1&k_var=yoga

 

I've been wanting to buy photos from Corbis but it sure is hard to navigate that site

 

My webdesign friends seem to use photostogo.com for most image purchases.

The same site may start a cheap subscription soon, also, but not sure of that.

 

Sorry to do a me too, but I always like to support istockphoto.com where I can, they do indeed do a good job.

 

Getty Images (www.gettyimages.com) is also very good. They have a section of royalty-free images and all.

 

I am sorry, but I no longer support Gettyimages in anything they do. They just purchased a huge chunk of public domain footage and copyrighted it and now you have to pay to use it. That is just wrong.

 

I am unaware of such facts, but I doubt they are reliable, as nobody can "purchase" material that is on public domain and then copyright it. Do you have more information on this, please?

 

Yea, for example World War II footage:

Intellectual Property (IP) protection lasts for 70 years in most countries, including the US and EU; such footage is protected by Copyright, it was never in public domain - it should be in a few years, though. All Getty Images is doing is licensing the material they have rights upon.

BTW, I am not affiliated with Getty Images in no way. I'm currently studying IP as a Master degree, so you can understand my interest in these matters.
