Request 9304.  PEOPLE IN BREATHTAKING, YET NON-DESCRIPT DESTINATIONS 
  I am looking for lifestyle destination images. What I need to see is destination imagery where the people are small in scale to a breathtaking, yet non-descript destination. I DO NOT NEED any BEACH/RESORT destinations. I am particularly interested in CITY/URBAN destinations. I could also use Asian destinations.

Subjects can be couples, friends, families or singles, but should represent travelers, not locals. Also, their identities should be obscured. We are looking for the essence of a person, not their personality. They should represent the upscale traveler and not appear too rugged.

Horizontal, color only with copy space.

- pictures demonstrating strong photographic technique are good

Request 9210.  WATERFALLS IN SOUTHEAST ASIA AND SOUTHERN INDIA 
  I am looking for photographs of water-loving vegetation around the edges of waterfalls in Southeast Asia and southern India; typically the plants I am looking for grow in sunny and wet places next to waterfalls that are never completely dry. Waterfalls in deep shade or that become completely dry during the dry season are not likely candidates.

Prized scenic shots of waterfalls are common, but tend to be quite a distance from the subject in order to frame an entire waterfall.

I am looking for shots that are sufficient close to see herbs (0.5 - 1.5 m tall approx) in the foreground around the edge of a lower pool, or on the rock faces alongside a fall, or around the edge of an upper pool.

Such shots may be second grade from a scenic point of view (not always!), and I would be happy to look at images that the photographers might consider to be second-grade scenic views.

  We are firm that markets diesel fuel additive products all over the world. What we are looking for are some photographs of heavy duty diesel equipment (Trucks, Mining, Construction, agriculture) in clearly 'Russian' settings for a Russian advertising program we are working on.

For example, if we could find a photo with a large diesel truck with one of those Russian onion looking buildings in the background, this would be excellent. Other pictures clearly showing agriculture equipment in Russian countryside could also work.

We would like the equipment used in photographs to be as modern as possible. We don't need a photograph of an antique looking tractor in a field or anything like that.

Request 9210.  WATERFALLS IN SOUTHEAST ASIA AND SOUTHERN INDIA 
  I am looking for photographs of water-loving vegetation around the edges of waterfalls in Southeast Asia and southern India; typically the plants I am looking for grow in sunny and wet places next to waterfalls that are never completely dry. Waterfalls in deep shade or that become completely dry during the dry season are not likely candidates.

Prized scenic shots of waterfalls are common, but tend to be quite a distance from the subject in order to frame an entire waterfall.

I am looking for shots that are sufficient close to see herbs (0.5 - 1.5 m tall approx) in the foreground around the edge of a lower pool, or on the rock faces alongside a fall, or around the edge of an upper pool.

Such shots may be second grade from a scenic point of view (not always!), and I would be happy to look at images that the photographers might consider to be second-grade scenic views.

  Do you have stunning pics of any of the following sunsets & sunrises?

Sunsets 
  The Quirang, Skye - Shattered spires of rock spike up all around, providing a Gothicky foreground to whatever fireworks Nature provides as the sun sets.

Belfast - Sunset sees the light fade above the green slopes, striking the impressive Victorian buildings in the centre as it departs. Belfast Lough provides a shimmering background

Haystacks, above Buttermere, Cumbria - The blaze of sunset reaches operatic levels, thanks to the craggy foreground and the sleek cones of the Ennerdale fells behind. Innominate Tarn and its scattered tarnlets complete the picture.

Swinford - King’s Lock on the Thames, near Oxford

Blackpool Pleasure Beach

Seven Sisters, Sussex Downs

Sunrises

The British Camp, or Herefordshire Beacon, near Malvern

The Mersey Ferry

Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch, Anglesey - The view is good, the Menai straits with the mighty backdrop of Snowdonia’s mountains over which the dawn appears.

Ely cathedral - A mighty tower on a great, wide plain; this is a dramatic place to watch light filter gently from the vast horizon to the east.

Saltwick Bay, near Whitby, North Yorkshire - striking rock formations, especially the rock pillars of Black Nab and Saltwick Nab, plus fragmentary wreckage of the Admiral von Tromp fishing trawler

Rannoch Moor, Highland region - Tops for spookiness, this is the place to hunker down and watch the sunrise

  The Solidarity Center is an international non-profit worker rights organization with offices in 25 countries worldwide. We are looking for a cover photo for our Annual Report. We would like to highlight our work in the Americas, preferably with young women workers. The photo could be a portrait or a group shot, provided the group is actively engaged and at least one person is looking directly at the camera/reader. If it is a portrait of a single person, we would like the person to be empowered and again looking directly out. Some of the countries/themes we might illustrate are Afro-Brazilian workers, young Brazilian workers, Dominican domestic workers, Mexican journalists, Guatemalan dock workers or banana workers, informal workers in Bolivia or Ecuador . . . you can see that it is quite a long and varied list. A vertical shot would work best, with strong color to draw the eye into the report.

Unfortunately, we are on an extremely tight deadline and need to get at least a low-res version of the cover photo to our designers by COB tomorrow. Photographers Direct has been very responsive in the past and I hope that you will be able to provide what we are looking for.

Request 9210.  WATERFALLS IN SOUTHEAST ASIA AND SOUTHERN INDIA 
  I am looking for photographs of water-loving vegetation around the edges of waterfalls in Southeast Asia and southern India; typically the plants I am looking for grow in sunny and wet places next to waterfalls that are never completely dry. Waterfalls in deep shade or that become completely dry during the dry season are not likely candidates.

Prized scenic shots of waterfalls are common, but tend to be quite a distance from the subject in order to frame an entire waterfall.

I am looking for shots that are sufficient close to see herbs (0.5 - 1.5 m tall approx) in the foreground around the edge of a lower pool, or on the rock faces alongside a fall, or around the edge of an upper pool.

Such shots may be second grade from a scenic point of view (not always!), and I would be happy to look at images that the photographers might consider to be second-grade scenic views.

I am looking for 10 images total, so have a budget of 800 dollars for this.

Request 9192.  CAR STOPPED AT DESERTED INTERSECTION 
  Car stopped at stoplight/red light at deserted intersection.

To depict the idea that we often do not break rules even when the benefits would be great and the punishment minimal.

There would be a gain in not waiting for a light to change by arriving earlier to destination and not wasting gas and oil. It is unlikely to get a ticket as there are no police officers around and the intersection is not monitored.

In spite of the benefits and lack of punishment, still wait for the light to change.

  I am looking for a peacock photo, I want very deep colors; such as teal, blue, bright green, purple, and gold. I am not interested in photos where the you can see a background or the grass or anything like that I want more of a close up showing the peacocks face, which doesn't have to be centered, and the peacock feathers up, not laying down. More than anything I am looking for the deep colors. I want it pretty big, around 48 inches long, and the height to match the dimensions.
The photo needs to have both green and purple.
Thank you
