How do i get multiple images?

How do I get HD images of India's best hotels and resorts?

• I  run a travel blog and I want to write posts about exotic destinations  in india that are lesser known or at least not as crowded as goa(or  other cliche holiday destinations in India for that matter). I thought  of running a mini-series where I would start with all the luxury hotels  and resorts in India so I could may-be write about 25-30 blog posts. But  the problem is there are no creative common licensed images of these  premium hotels available on the internet( tried google images and flickr  and free stock photo sites). so I mailed a couple of them like  Udaivilas oberoi group, orange county group but I haven't got a reply. I  see bigger media and news sites using these images on their sites quite  frequently and giving a simple hyperlink at the bottom. for eg. this  series by indiatimes.. http://www.indiatimes.com/lifestyle/travel/indias-top-romantic-resorts-81801.html . I know I cant do the same because it is copyright infringement. The  same problem I am also facing for non-hotel specific posts. There are  lots of exotic destination images of India but none of them is under the  CC license.

• Answer:

  Try emailing the webmasters of a few of the sites you see these images on, to find out how/where they got their images, that should give a good hint. Many people who run websites will be quite happy to give advice to somebody who is starting out- as well as emailing the hotels themselves that you want to feature. I'm certain that many hotels, when presented with a favorable review/article/publicity, would be happy to provide you with HD images. If you are willing to pay, you can always buy stock images from places such as http://shutterstock.com, or alternatively use http://elance.com or similar to comission freelance travel photographers in the area to take photos for you.
