We use stock photos in our design work as a backgrounds and important elements.  We know how hard it is occasionally to find the exact image you need for the current task, even in your own library.

You will find a lot of usefull images (photographs and illustrations) on www.FeaturePics.com stock photo/illustration site. FeaturePics is an Internet tool for the realization of the free market; where an Artist is responsible for a product and supervises its price, and a Buyer completes this market by buying the Art. The Main difference of mentioned above site from others is the flexible pricing for each art work which set directly by the Author of the work. All photographers receive a 70% commission rate, so you really pay to the authors for thier work.
