Photos for online book

Truss

Looking for a good database of photos that can be used in an online/downloadable printable book that I will be charging people to buy - I've spent hours doing this and have found a few but many require buying tokens and/or citing the photographer for every bloody photo.

I want one that is subscription based and can download as many as I need for the subscription period - I need one that means I don't have to cite the photographer anywhere in the book or on my website.

I am aware of certain restrictions, e.g. depending on database more than 250,000 - 499,999 copies cannot be downloaded without an extended licence purchased which is fine because I'll never sell that many anyway.

The best for me so far seems to be http://www.iclipart.com/ - I am currently awaiting a response in relation to the specifics of what I am doing, but would welcome any other suggestions for online databases.

Thanks for any help!

what you are looking for is www.freestockphotos.com

or a similar free stock photo website (since this one requires the website name attached to the image at all times)

Those clipart sites are shockingly bad :P

http://www.sxc.hu/ is a good source for free stock photos.

They may not be up to your standard but they seem to be best value for what you get - sxc.hu is great but not if you intend on SELLING what you create.

Or search in google for "Royality Free"

Try www.istockphoto.com or www.shutterstock.com
You have to pay a few euro for them but you don't need to credit the photographer

We use Getty Images.com, they are pretty good but it depends on what types of images you need

I'm not 100% sure what you are trying to do.

Is it that you want a database to sell YOUR OWN photography?

There are many professional photographer on the Boards here who might be able to help:

I'm an amateur, but another option might be to join the photogs and take your own photos, where possible.

Hi OP, I know this isn't exactly what you're asking, but personally, if I bought a photography book and saw some pictures that I liked - I would want to know the name of the photographer, and, for example, if it was a landscape, where it was.
If you were interested in crediting the photographers, I would imagine that there would be hundreds of professional and exceptional amateur Irish photographers willing to donate an excellent image.

Good luck.

Ok maybe I'm missing something here. I'm still not 100% sure what you want to do.

Is it that you want photographs for free that you will then try to pass off as your own and sell? If this is the case it is not legal (copyright laws etc).

A lot of the sites mentioned allow you to use photographs but not sell them.
