A common issue for clients when getting marketing materials or websites created is lack of pictures. Unfortunately we can't all be blessed with high end camera's and the eye of a professional! So, when you need professional photos for just about any event or thing you can think of, try iStock.com.
iStock is a place where photographers and designers from around the globe upload there photos for others to purchase. Depending on the size you need depicts the cost. You can get an image for less than $10.00. Considering the price to hire a photographer...it's a steal!
But, like all things there are strings so be prepared! iStock, like all stock image websites, has a licensing agreement that extends to all of their purchasable files. In fact, iStock has two agreements...one for regular folk using photos and files their own personal stuff and promotions...one for designers and professionals using photos and files for reselling and in client projects. Each License Agreement has its own Terms of Service outlining what you can do and don't, so I highly recommend reading the terms at least once. The terms let you know how many times you print the image, if you can use it on brochures, websites, mugs, commercials and so on. When you purchase something from iStock, be sure to buy the appropriate License for your needed. VERY important!
Whatever your need, iStock probably has a photo, video, or audio file for it!
