Where to get website pictures??

If you want them free just google 'free pictures'
Hi,
I use istock, and often do get something useable but often I want photos of composers and that is a bit tricky to find.
I also was very particular about my new website wanting just the right subject and colour and bought photos from Getty images and shutterstock too.
Getty were a bit more pricey, but well worth it for what I got.
Shutter stock seemed very good and if you are using a lot it works out very reasonable to buy a subscription.
Site is due out soon. (any day)
It looks great, and most of the functionality is nearly there now.

I registerred with Getty although cannot now remember whether I had toto get the prices, but I am wondering what you were buying. I bought 3 or 4 pics from them, royalty free and it cost me about £125 ish I recall. Which is not a lot extra in relation to the cost of our site.
You can get different resolutions and so forth but as far as I can see they are all legally bought by me for use on our website... and they are great pictures for us which I could not get elsewhere.
SoI am surprised at what you were quoted, and hope you find what you need elsewhere.

I did try it, but unfortunately couldn't find the image I was after. Eventually got sorted out at fotolia, for the bargain price of £2.40.

Getty own istock. Having two libraries with different pricing strategies is part of their model, which works well. (For them..)

Does anyone know a good place to buy the sort of pics you see in text books... particularly of old and famous composers. I very occasionally find a picture of a statue of a composer on these photo sites, which I can use. But it is very limited. I am looking to illustrate articles about different composers for our newsletter, and I always find other sites about the composers with the photos on, but often cannot get to their source to buy them legally.
That leaves me a very few composers I can write about and illustrate with a picture. I should be choosing the articles to reflect interest and relevance to development in musical thought, not because they are the only ones I can find pictures for!!
Any teachers out there who may be able to help?
Thanks

Christine,
Have you asked the British Assoc. of Picture Libraries and Agencies for help?
BAPLA
Another route might be to ask The Gramophone where they source theirs from.
The Brit Museum is no good, (just looked, often a good site..), but the Library of Congress has an amazing library, and I'm sure there must be similar bodies in Europe. Might be worth a go.
HTH.
