Photo Libraries

[shirepro]

I need some photographs of people from different ethnic groups for some research. I was about to send a photographer out with a buch of release papers and wad of cash when I thought about photo libraries where I could buy the images.


Problem is that they are all smiling happy faces, at different angles doing things like brishing their teeth and eating cakes.

I need pictures of unsmiling faces, straight on from the front and I need white, black, Asian and chinese faces of various ages without any tatoos, marks, noticeable jewellery etc.

Anybody know of any photo libraies where I might get these or have any other bright ideas?

All royalty free and a pretty extensive library too

Edit to add: You need to register to get the big versions of each photo but it's free to do so.

I am happy to pay for the right ones as I know getting them done will cost me £1000.

If only, I suppose I could airbrush out the tattos

But they'd still have "Chav Scum" written all over them.....
