That's a great site. I use it for photos for websites mostly. But, the majority of the photos that I have seen there are staged. I am looking for actual moments in time where a person was caught doing a good deed. The reason most are staged is because of the requirement for a model release for any photo in which anyone is identifiable, even if only in a crowd. That makes it pretty hard to post any "man on fhe street" photos. There are a lot of other sites out there, but I haven't really looked into them. If you find one with relaxed model releases, let us know. -- - Burt Johnson MindStorm, Inc. http://www.mindstorm-inc.com/software.html |

Thanks! jim Your best bet for photos like that would be either photojournalism, documentary photography or selected images from photo essays. A large stock company like Getty would probably have what you are looking for and their material is extensively indexed. Likewise National Geographic, Associated Press, Time-Life, Paris Match and similar organizations all license their images. None of them are free, but they aren't exhorbitant, either. It may be possible to make some sort of arrangements with an amateur to use their photos with a credit. However, finding those images is the problem. You can, as you are doing now, broadcast that you need the images, or you can contact various photography clubs, but you would probably get a better response if you provided some details about the arrangement you are looking for. At the moment, it sounds a little unfocussed. Often untapped resources are colleges that have photography courses. Students are notoriously open to the idea of getting their images out there and something that is published where they are credited can be very attractive. At many points during the course there are projects that need to be shot and the student can propose a project that would potentially provide you with images. It's a win-win situation. They have to do the course work anyway and you want pictures. Vance |

Journalism is treated differently than other commercial enterprises by law. If the subjects don't complain it's alright for art: based on the artist's tolerance for lawsuits, but most corporate buyers won't want to see the possibility of a future complaint. I have photos of people doing good but they don't make sense without an explanation and I don't have releases. What you are asking for is some really legendary photography: not an easy request. I would like to see what you turn up, sincerely. Like the famous photos that you see in Time and such.... Those are real people in real moments of action.

writes I am seeking photos for a new project. I want all of the photos of people helping that I can get. The people can be helping people or animals.

Thanks! jim Hi Jim, I think you have learned you needed to phrase this request better. Perhaps something along the lines of: " Amateur poet looking to publish book needs to collaborate with photographer(s) for images to go in book." " I think your OP came across as I want free photos to go into a commercial book." OTOH because there are so many idiots on the net these days and so many expect everything for free some of the old hands (and a lot of the plain arse holes) on here just react without giving the benefit of the doubt. 10-15 years ago (before AOL and the never ending September) the net was a much nicer place. Everyone was presumed innocent first. Now they are assumed guilty. -- \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ \/\/\/\/\ Chris Hills Staffs England /\/\/\/\/ /\/\/ www.phaedsys.org \/\/\ \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ |
