Stock As Fine Art (seeking your feedback!)

Journal Entry: Wed May 7, 2008, 12:55 PM
Howdy, Cats:

I could REALLY use your help with something. Some of you may recall that I made a similar request about a year ago, but it's time for a refresh.

The Request

I'd like for you to send me examples of what you consider to be extraordinary stock art. Of course, 'extraordinary' is a pretty subjective adjective so, specifically, I am looking for...

1) Stock - featuring a person - that can stand on its own as a work of art. Stock images that, even before they are ever manipulated, elicit an emotional response; joy, sadness, longing, hate, desire, frivolity, etc.

A good rule of thumb is a stock image that you would hang on your wall as 'art' in its own right. Currently, I am only interested in stock that features people (as opposed to objects or landscapes or anything else that isn't a person).

2) Stock that is very high quality in terms of resolution and lighting. (Don't get me wrong, I'm still talking about STOCK. I AM NOT interested in studio portraits.)

Please recommend as many any you like and feel free to recommend your own work. Please provide the Link (preferred) or Exact Title of the image(s) so that I can find them ;-).

Thanks again for all your help.

Jade

As of March 2008, the only stock photos I will produce will be requests. If you need something specific for a project, I'd love to hear your pitch.

you must get it a lot, but your military/spy related stock is so awesome

*Annibellector:iconAnnibellector: May 3, 2008, 1:41:09 PM
D: you're video froze on me about three fourths of the way through! so sad! :D i like seeing videos of the people i talk to on here because it's fun to see what they sound like and stuff! The way a person speaks and simply the expressions and things they do make up so much of who they are and what kind of impression to get off of them. Anyway, i'm in a talkative mood so i should stop typing before this gets out of hand. Maybe i'll make a journal entry so i can blab about rando- oops, there i go. Okay then bye!

Wow, that is really cool. The angle threw me off for a sec, but once I oriented myself correctly it jumped right out at me. Very good image. I'd Fave! it, but of course it exists outside the realm of dA. :D
