Can you recommend some picture resources, free or not.

I need professional looking pictures of models, mostly of faces and probably with clean white backgrounds.

Thanks.

Hello,
I want to develop a site as like http://www.sxc.hu


Could you please let me know a open source code for that kind of site.

Thank you.

Hi Matthew - in case you are looking in future, a good site is Foto Search Stock Photography because you can search through lots of stock publishers all at one site, many royalty-free. Saves a lot of time.

Best wishes.

YoToPhoto allows you to search a lot of the free/open source stock photo sites at once. It is very good, also allows you to search by a specific HEX or RGB (I believe) code for colour of a photo.

I'd definitely recommend it...

I think that good source is: free pictures
All photos there are free.
