Post subject: Looking to improve my photo search on the web!!!!

Hello everybody, I have been in the photography business for quite some time and use the web for my projects that need photos of a different kind and types. There are many resources available online from where you can find different pictures. This requires a lot of surfing through the web and I have to screen thought the many links and pages to get good ones. It’s not a problem to find good photos but the time factor is too much as the links and pages seem to present a different view when opened up. Sometimes there is porn stuff and the rest are not related to what I want. This is a complete waste of my time and is annoying. So, if anyone has any suggestions that can help me improve my work on web please let me know!!!

Thanks in advance!!!

You could stick with the image agencies who have great search engines for their work - but then you would have to pay for it if you used it in your work.

it is not easy even you have found some plugin or some special website
what we do is first search the site we regular use and then also search that on google images(sometimes is blocked) and baidu image

hope that is helpful for you
