Recommend me some financial sites.

Can anyone recommend any royalty-free stock photography web sites?

  • Can anyone recommend any royalty-free stock photography web sites? [more inside] I used to use http://creative.gettyimages.com/photodisc/, but they are just way out of my clients' price range nowadays. Their sales emphasis seems to be on collections rather than single images. I've been using http://www.istockphoto.com a lot, but just wondered if there were other sites that are similar that I'm unaware of.

  • Answer:

    I've never used istockphoto so I can't make an informed quality comparison, but http://www.sxc.hu/ has done right by me in the past. Page loads are a bit slow, however.

we've found good stuff at http://www.veer.com before, but, as usual, the best stuff is typically rights-managed.

photodisc is outside your price range? Aren't typical shots just $30? I've paid them for stuff on my personal sites before.

How about royalty-free line drawings and other art?

MegoSteve - Following http://metatalk.metafilter.com/mefi/7091 thread, I'd say take a look at http://gallery.armouredminds.com, that is, on June 1st, when my bandwidth drops back down. Other than that, you're welcome to let me know what you're after. I'm a bargain.

matt: I'm talking print, not web... their print shots run $100/$180/$270 each for a medium res shot. Sorry for not making that distinction. Their web res shots run $50/$70/$100, so you may not have ordered from them in a while.

Have you tried http://pro.corbis.com/? A goodly amount of their images are royalty free.
