Shutterstock equivalents

Hi, not sure if I'm posting in the right place but there are three photos I need for my website I have designed. The only problem is the cost - I understand the cost for proper photos but the ones I want are 3d designed ones similar to these: 3D man pictures

If anyone knows of where I can get these that would be great.

Thanks.

Have a look at turbosquid for free models you can download and use with a program like Blender. It may take a little bit of learning, but you'd be able to pose and render them yourself.
Alternatively, look for 'free 3d man stock photos' on google and/or stock sites for such images.

Cost is a relative factor; what are you going to be using the images for? What resolution do you need? Have you considered looking on a site like 500px, deviantart or flickr for images people have uploaded under the creative commons attribution, derivates license?

Thanks for the reply. The size only needs to be max 289px wide and height not too much of an issue but probably around the 355px region. The images are literally just something to break up the text which is why I don't want to spend too much (if anything really) on the images.

Go have a look at http://istockphoto.com, you ought to find some images there that suit what you need at agreeable prices. Just go over their licensing terms to acquaint yourself with what you are and aren't allowed to do with the images.

Also, kudos to you for FIRST asking these sorts of questions rather than just ripping people's images to put onto your site. You're a rare breed and are permitted to reproduce.
