  • Royalty FREE Photographs needed?

    Posted by Martin C on January 12, 2004 at 1:36 pm

    I’m in the process of developing a Sports related website and need good action photos for the backdrop to each page.

    Does anyone know of a reasonably priced supplier of downloadable digital pics?

    PS:I’ve done a websearch and found a couple of sites with silly prices though 🙁

    I’ll have a look and see what I have on CD, I have a few CDs of royalty free stuff, just need to see whether they’ve got sports on them.

    I’ll post later if I find anything that may be of use 🙂

    Cheers, Dewi

    Hi, I’d also be interested in royalty free/public domain photographs with rock/cult legends eg. jimi hendrix, marilyn monroe etc.. I don’t know if any exist but if anyone knows where I can get some I’d be really gratefull!

    Thanks

    Try http://www.creatas.co.uk and Amy I don’t think you will find any royalty free stuff for film/rock stars they all guard their image too much.

    Thanks Stve, Simon. Had a look at both those sites and for different reasons (can’t exactly remember why, although one wants more than I want to pay for pics!) I’m still on the lookout……

    Any more for any more?

    On reflection should make the effort to say why they are no good to me 😳

    The Creatas site want £69 per photo. As I need 10 pics that’s a no no. My budget is about £100!

    The Budget Photo’s are compilation CD’s with lots of pics, not all Sport , and past experience suggests I’ll be left wanting!!? 🙁

    In that case then Martin get on Google and type in “Free Web Templates” and use what you can find under sports or get your camera out and take your own pictures or contact a local photograpy club and see if they have any you can use, I would have thought a hobby photographer would be quite happy to be paid a tenner each, but professionals? sorry dream on mate 😕

    Thanks Barna, I’ve tried them and they don’t have the sports I need!

    Getting desperate now 😥

    Here’s what I have and what I hope to match.

    I have a GOLF Image with the green, the head of the putter, the shoes and the hole………….a sort of worms eye view.

    I have a number of Horsey images………….again worms eye view plus a choice of harnesses etc.,

    I NEED……….stumps and ball for Cricket……or an all action village green shot (don’t want name players)

    A good action Football image

    Darts

    Tennis

    all in a similar style!!

    I’ll give you a shout when the sites up and running and you can see the fruits of your help. 😀
