How often do you buy photo stock?

[curiousbunny]

not adult photo stock.:3ymca:

[Xstr8guy]

Never. . I work exclusively in the adult market and I don't sell softcore baby!

[Huskyhunks]

Jeez... didn't even know there was such a thing.

If you're talking about photostock for graphics, I've bought them for clients when I did design. That was way back when I actually did have time to design, I kind of miss it

There are lots of free photostock sites. There is not a tremendous need of buying stock material. Exept you need reference stuff for 3d work. At least this is what I think.

too many "photostock" sites out there ( imagine 7 out of 10 people have a camera ) so unless you specialize in the unusual and/or hard to get (exactly how many of you have captured a comet or solar/lunar eclipse?) the competition is fierce. (and you thought it was hard in adult , please!)
it's interesting at the moment i am swamped with orders for western , i'm guessing it's in the aftermath of "b*okeback mountain" (too bad this doesn't sell well all the time)

sincerely ~ ..."exclusive pictures of mars available!"... :goof:

I have purchased photo sets from several content providers who (advertise) promote their goods here. And I have been satisfied.

In some cases, I have been able to "buy" models who I otherwise would not be able to afford.

In one case, a model told me that now that he is famous, I would not be able to afford his rate. So I bought pics of him from two years ago here for $100.

Works for me.

But I do prefer buying video.

Yeah, you're lucky guy...but he (curiousbunny) talked about "stock photos". Has nothing to do with porn pics. (for once)

It's e.g. a sun dawn, mountains, sea scenery, trees or what ever else you incorporate in your graphics, 3d scenes or even video.

Hope we didn't talk about two things...

I needed some video for the open credits of a non-porn movie I'm making, and a photographer in a midwestern state answered and shot me an hour of outdoor scenery in his state on miniDV for $100...

So there are a wide variety of options when needing pics/video of people, places and things.

That's a very nice price especially for custom work
