Anyone know where i can get photos of female models for free that i can use in commerical stuff for free and the image size is HUGE? (like A3 size @ 300dpi)

I'm making an event flyer for a mate but i kind of need a stock image to use on it.

By models i mean like the sort of stuff you see on gatecrasher/electro/RnB advertising materials

    Free? I doubt it !

    You wont get anything for free. I remeber when I needed models for some promotional work, using their images cost my company the best part of £3k. It will depend on your use etc, but you wont really find anything for free without people hounding you over copywrite or image rights.

    As said you won't get any of them for free, you'll end up paying shit loads. Take a look on Don't Stay In and see if you can get anyone to help you.

    www.inthepicture.org is good, too. :yes:

    Lots of folk from Death Disco club nights at The Arches are good for electro-y images.

    Just get one of the girls from this site to do the pictures. Ideally one who you've had an eye on for some time.

    What? Someone was bound to suggest it... :p

    Indeed. But what's wrong with the suggestion? I'm sure someone would be willing to do the job.

    deviant art is a possiblity...

    I've checked the obvious places, only problem is most images are either copyrighted or miles too small (or not right for the job).
    I managed to find something anyway, its not perfect but it'll do the trick...

    On a less scary note than Noog dressing as a woman and modelling for TheSite...

    We use the following sites for free stock images -

    http://www.sxc.hu/
    http://www.morguefile.com

    and these are some other suggestions from the office, for future consideration (though getting an image that size is never easy)

    I have looked on one of those links, and I have seen some that could work, but I dont know quite what you are going for. So rather than upload them all onto here, just grab me and ill tell you

    Just imagine Stargalaxy here dressing up as a woman and modelling for TheSite. You'll have nightmares for weeks.

    Pink Devils is a plentiful hi-res celebrity/model resource site with images often 4000 pixels high. You can freely download them, but you won't be able to freely publish it on a club flyer due to copyright implications. The copyright will mainly go to the phographer who took the picture.
