NEWSLETTER - May 2006


A growing number of picture researchers are discovering the power of the Photographers Direct Picture Search service as a unique and powerful tool to help them find images. Some have expressed pangs of guilt: 'It feels like cheating!' one or two have said, but it's not. It is using modern technology to make a researcher's work quicker and more productive. The bottom line is, if you get your client what they want, quickly and accurately, they are happy!

Some recent examples:

- Sikh with All Five Ks: Kesh, Kanga, Kara, Kirpan and Kacha
- waterproof oversuit for potholing
- fresco of Last Judgment at Ste. Cecile cathedral, Albi


So, if you are having trouble finding images, why not give it a try? If Oxford University Press, National Geographic, McGraw-Hill and Dorling Kindersley use us repeatedly, we must be doing something right!
