| Here's an email from Judy Mason: "After all this time of saving all of your newsletters, I finally needed to actually use your Picture Search service. It's absolutely terrific!!! I got exactly what I needed, quickly and easily." Judy needed a list of difficult subjects for an Italian textbook and within 24 HOURS she had these images for these rather demanding specs: - Students at the University of Perugia, preferably with some special architecture in the background. - Any of the following extreme sports in Italy: base-jumping, torrentismo (trekking down streams or rivers), or hydrospeed (surfing down streams or rivers) - Morning rituals. Young Italian adult (20 something) getting ready to leave the house/apartment - shaving, putting on make-up, doing his/her hair, etc. - The sports newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport - can be at a newsstand or someone reading it. Ideal would be with cycling on the front page. Needs to be close enough that we can see the name of the paper. This demonstrates the power of our Picture Search email service. Often it can be hard to search by keyword for some subjects, or you may not know where to even start looking. Why waste time when you can send out an email enquiry to photographers who will understand exactly what you need and can provide images promptly for you to view online? Our Italian photographers did us proud, and with 6000 photographers in 100 countries worldwide, we can find just about anything you need! Below is the latest news from some of our photographers: Photographers Direct - Fair Trade Photography. |
