Does anyone know where I can get photos of people for free or it costs money but with an affordable price? I need to do some marketing.

There are LOTS of micro-stock sites where you can get photos for $1-3 US.
Try these:
www.istockphoto.com
www.123rf.com
www.dreamstime.com
www.stockxpert.com

Then for free - -StockXchange - http://sxc.hu/
There are other free stock sites, look in our stickies.

Prefer a social network for free photos. It will take a little of your but save your money.

Go out to a public place and shoot --> what's so hard?

**chrishirst** · 10-16-2009, 06:18 PM

You know that in some places that would be illegal!

**webmasterbie** · 10-16-2009, 06:59 PM

Hm... 1-3 dollars for one photo?

on a nude beach? I guess maybe in some areas it might be, but no one really cares. Just fire when ready.

Yes, and they are good photos. Beats $50-300 per photo!

**henry21r** · 10-24-2009, 05:25 PM

if you wanna buy some model pics then you will get it on the market at affordable price but you have to fill some legal documents...

**The-Pixel** · 10-24-2009, 11:29 PM

I've always heard such wonderful things about www.istockphoto.com but I never personally used them. Best of luck!

**kte.moss** · 10-25-2009, 03:32 PM

You will get photos as you need from Flickr.com

There's a lot of kind-hearted people out there. Just go to a public place and then point and shoot. Very simple and easy. Why don't you try to take a picture with the beggars and give them food afterwards, a little charity work. What do you think?

http://www.sxc.hu is the best

**alancomputer** · 11-03-2009, 10:26 AM

that cool site

**Designer-J** · 11-04-2009, 07:17 PM

If you decide to take pics of people yourself and want to use them on a professional level, it's best to get some kind of disclaimer from them giving you permission to use the picture of them, in whatever media you plan on using the picture.

**quels** · 11-07-2009, 08:27 PM

Istockphotos.com has incredible photos, but a little more than I'm willing to spend. Usually I use google and flickr, and look for some non-copyrighted images.

**MattCoops** · 11-08-2009, 06:04 PM

I believe you can take pictures of the backs of people's head and use them without their permission. Maybe set off some kind of distraction away from the view of you and your camera and snap away.

When I needed some pictures of people I asked my friends to pose me for free pictures. They got lovely pictures I had my work done. Here you've got some examples. Pictures of people
