Hello World

Where is the best place to buy some pictures?
Adobe Stock wants $49.99 for ONE PICTURE ...
Where do you get your pictures?

Thanks a lot!

Hello, there are many places online, do a search for stock photography.

There are also lots of free of right images, or public domain ones, you can setup your search engine to show only that.

Creative Commons is another option.

Doesn't Adobe stock also offer subscriptions?

shutterstock and istockphoto are newer ones that come to my mind, gettyimages is an older one, but there are certainly more.

What kind of images are you looking for, for which purposes, what is the likely quantity of images you will be using in a given period of time, …?

The subscription options PECourtejoie mentioned might be useful to you depending on your needs.

Adobe Stock wants $49.99 for ONE PICTURE ...

The price usually depends on the licensing – is it limited to a locale, to a period of time, to certain media etc. – with a »buy-out« (exclusive and unlimited use in any medium) usually being the most costly.

So in this context the »$ 49,99« you mentioned do not constitute a fully meaningful statement yet without defining what exactly you meant by »buy«.

Thank you all for your responses.

Well, yes, I guess that I didn't explain myself enough.

This is what I want or need.

Sometimes, once in a while, I may need 1 (ONE) picture for a certain reason,

can be a flayer, for a website, etc. and I would love to find a place where I can buy

AS I NEED, what I mean is that I don't' want to buy "Credits" or pay a $449 per 6 months or yearly easy payments of whatever

but just want to get ONE picture, and that's it.

So I was thinking that I may ask here.
Where do you get (if you use some) your pictures?

Thanks

Depends. What do you need it for?

Nothing wrong with it per se, but I loathe stock photographs.

I often take my own. Sometimes hire a pro.

I use it for dummy images, but the overall quality is pretty good.
