Which stock photo website you use to purchase photos?

Jani · Jan 27th, 2008, 12:31 pm

I know there are many stock photos websites out there but which website do you prefer most?

Your preferences can be based on the quality/size of the photos and also can base on the price package they have.

I searched for "Stock Photography" on google and found some good websites... I Think the website fotolio.com is also very good.

What is your favorite stock photography website?

I've not downloaded from Fotolia but uploaded some pics instead. The best site out there though is (or will be) picBait. It's not much now, but a small WTF are putting something together there.

I usually never use any photos, usually do smaller graphics instead

Buy in Fotolia... Sell in a lot of them

I have an ad agency and we mostly buy for Shutterstock. Their images are good and the cost is low.

Menthol · Jun 19th, 2008, 6:47 pm

I use istockphoto mainly but have also used stockexpert and stock.xchng as well.

EirikM · Jun 23rd, 2008, 5:28 pm

I've used stock.xchng - the leading free stock photography site but they have free photos. But also photos you can purchase.
