We have worked closely with the automotive industry since we opened. This has allowed us to have quite a collection of hi res vehicle images along with wheels and parts.
Now the Lexus meet flyer was made from photos of actual members cars that we acquired from the actual photographer that took them. We cropped from the original background and added a bit of HDR effect so that they all match.
The super bowl flyer:
The 2 artists on the right are local and photos were taken with a DSLR and slave flash, nothing fancy. Then I added HDR effect to match the DJ on the left since they provided his image.
We used to use Istock photo alot but in the last couple of years have notice an increase in cost of each image and decrease in the amount of credits given per dollar so we moved on to dreamstime.com They have also raised their prices from $85 a month to $128 a month for a "10 image per day" subscription but its still cheaper than others.
I think stock photos is a great investment and I explain to the customers why. I see google images all over where I live. Not only is it wrong because its stealing, but the quality is horrible !
