Stock Photos

[Devor]

Mostly off topic to the community, would somebody be willing to recommend a good site for stock photos? I especially would like to find one that's good with objects like weapons or quills that I could manipulate in photoshop and combine with other things.

I've been looking, and it seems like there's a lot of them with very similar images. I'm having trouble sorting out which sites are better or why, and I'm not going to buy credits or a subscription with more than one.

Does anyone have any experience with this? Are there any recommendations?

I was going to send you a picture of a can of chicken broth...but then I read your post.

No, it's not really modern art I need . . . . . .

Have you checked out Getty Images? I've used it professionally, and it's the standard in the media industry. They have everything. The only difficulty might be pricing, so if you check it out I'd recommend looking for a personal/student subscription.
