Hi, I'm thinking of designing an online dating website. Usually with these websites you have like a photo on the main page of a couple laughing together or sharing an intimate moment (or something like that!). I was wondering if anyone knew where people get those kind of photos from?
Web site designers seem to have access to all kinds of images like these, where do they get them from??

Any help would be much appreciated, thanks.

There's alot of stock photography sites out there. The two I use the most are:

http://www.sxc.hu/index.phtml (free)
https://www.istockphoto.com/ (very cheap)

wow, this is exactly what I was looking for!

Thank you!

can i sell sites that have stock photgraphy?

do u own the photos?

All depends on the copyright of the photos you've used. Refer back to the T's & Cs of the site you got them from...

Wherever I can, I just get out my digital camera and take a few high quality snaps and then edit them to my liking.

If the images are 'royalty free' you can but if their 'rights managed' somebody has to pay the fee.

And to answer the first question; if your still in need of images PhotaStock can and will affordably create your vision if it's not online at their site . . . and they're friendly too!
