Where to buy professional photos online?

Discussion in 'General Business' started by Beanz, Aug 26, 2009.

    I'm looking for an online website where I can buy professional photos online.
    It's for a travelsite, and I need quite a few, so the price can't be to stiff.
    What i basically need is just a site with a massive amount of photos nicely categorized.

    Any suggestions?

    I personally like istockphoto.com as well. I've also used bigstockphoto.com.

    http://www.dreamstime.com is my favorite. I'm a contributor to all the major microstock photo sites, and Dreamstime is my favorite one to deal with. They run a very good business.

    GettyImages has the best selection if you need images that fit into your sales pitch. It's where major media outlets buy from. It has a price though. I would recommend you purchase the yearly subscription for 2K.

    If that's out of your budget then settle for some other worthy stock art sites that are recommended above. A subscription will be your best bet if you need tons of images. It sounds like you're looking for quantity over quality, granted any stock site will have good travel photos so istock and shutterstock may be more beneficial to you. Getty's just another in case you didn't know. Best wishes....

    Not sure if the quality is what you are looking for but check out www.Fotolia.com Their photos are quite reasonably priced.

    Thanks for the new sites. Some of the prices are quite costly for my tiny budget, but hopefully I'll be able to buy some memberships after a while.
