Can you lose hours skipping through pages and pages of stocks?
Do you have an insatiable need to collect pics of dandelions, flowers and butterflies?

We're posting links to feed the need. Twisted Evil

Mwahahaaa

Very extensive site.

*blows away cobwebs*
Very Happy

I get newsletters and an occassional phone call from the nice ladies at Getty and today there was something totally tempting and scrumptuous that I just have to share with my sistahs.

New food imagery at Getty.

Just a week ago they started an email competition where the prize was US$8000 worth of Royalty Free images. I hope I win, and if I do guess which forum gets to see/use those images first! Whistle

J, THANK YOU for this link. Now I know what to use for some of the AtoZ icons. LOL

These are so vibrant.

Needless to say, someone else won that 8000 stock CD. Crying or Very sad

Oh well...

I did find a few treasures in DeviantArt recently. Been spending a fair amount of time there and it is easy to get lost skipping and hopping off from one gallery to the next. But it's all good.

Here are a few photography galleries which I found really good - not sure if you would classify these as stock though:

::LST-IDNTY:: - guess what, Lee? He's from Cape Town!
::doorstopPhotos::
::TimelessImage::

As we are on the topic of deviantart Treasures - here are stock image artists, I discovered there lately:
::lockstock:: - if you are looking for THAT one pose and dress...
::stock-feele::
and of course - as it was not mentioned yet, I suppose:
::resurgere::

If you are looking for vintage photography:
vintageworks
I have also another link for vintage pics, but that also contains vintage porn (REALLY porn!) - and I don't know if mayby anyone around here is offended by that. I found it in one of lockstocks comments on her poll "What era had the best erotic art?". But it has also nice vintage portraits, so I saved it.

*thinks*

...How to put vintage porn in my next collage?
Know What I Mean

Seriously though, I'm always on the lookout for vintage pics and those DA stock artists look very promising indeed.
Thanks for the link, Koshka. Hug

*whispers* So where's the erotic art poll in lockstock's site? Wink

For those of you who enjoy Lockstock's photos I thought you might like to take a look at two more DeviantArt stockists. They both supply plenty of good quality posed pictures of pretty women.

Lisajen-Stock are two friends who're pretty new on the scene but have already developed quite a following. They even have an interesting challenge on at the moment to use any of their pictures in a fairytale scene. If you decide to enter we'd love to see it! Entries close on 19 May.

Tangledstockis another lovely photographer/model who's sure to inspire a Muse or two.

Posed stock pics are a dime a dozen at DA but these artists are worth investigating. Wink

Koshka, that one is great!! I love the old 40's 50's fashion photo's. Thanks for that link.

Bad news for fashion stock fans I'm afraid.
bwgreyscale.com has had a Cease and Desist from a number of big magazine publishers and cannot show scans anymore. I hope the other fashion stock sites don't go the same way. Confused
