Great article. I just want to stress how popular became this kind of bussines. Now we have microstocks not only for images, but for all other stuff like video, audio and sound loops, 3d models, graphic… and ofcourse flash files and components.

Hi, thought I would add at Ozimages you can download a comping image for free to show to clients and only buy the image if that is the one they choose.

I’ve heard some of them and found them very useful.
I’m fond of searching and collecting images for free.

@Ileane yes, stock.xchng does seem to be the best one but the others are worth looking at. It does tend to be time consuming.

@Riley thanks!

I understand the need for microstock images, but if you’re looking for traditional professional images, we have one of the broadest collections on the market, and great service if you need assistance finding the perfect shot.

I enjoyed your site, particularly the article about client testimonials…

Thanks for this list. I’ve spent some time on stock.xchng and saw some goodies there that I need to grab. I’ll take a look at the others soon. I feel like I need to spend a day or two dedicated to looking at images. Maybe that’s why I keep putting it off. I’ll try a different approach this time.

Hello Julia, thanks for that. OzImages sounds like an interesting concept. Half way between stock photography and commissioning.

Hi,
Thought you might like to check out my site for stock images. I am part of OzImages, so after you’ve checked out my site, look at the whole stock library. They offer a free service where you can submit a request for an image and they send an email direct to all their photographers, not only does this save you time trawling through images it also allows you to specify exactly what you are looking for and gives you access to the photographers off line shots as well. Also if possible a photographer may try to shoot the exact image you are after. You are under no obligation to purchase any image and they send you the relevant images in a lightbox for easy viewing. You then deal direct with the photographer, so even though the stock calculator may give you a price OzImages thinks is fair, you can negotiate direct with the photographer and often obtain a much better price. Thanks for your time and consideration. If you find the library to be a good one and you like this facility it would be great if you could include us in your blog.
Thanks again,
Julia
