need celeb photos for my site

[Carter]

I am wondering if anyone knows of a site that allows you to get either free, or fairly cheap photos of celebrities that I can use on my website?

I have looked around on google, and am having a hard time finding anything there.

Please help!!

A good rule of thumb if you're going to use any celebrity image is to make sure credit is given to the original photographer and/or a link to their site (if they have one). Also don't hotlink them.

You shouldn't alter any of the celebrity images you use (save for any cropping or color correction if need be). Also, you can't use the (any) celebrity as part of any kind of promotion or sales or any kind of marketing scheme without proper permission or a contract.

If you want to use a celebrity image as part of a blog or some other such ubiquitous posting, it's all fair. Just use common sense.

Thanks heaps for your help I just don't wanna get a mega lawsuit for something that will be earning me about $5 a month...lol

It seems that there is a lot of abuse of the celebrity photo thing on the internet - surely 80% of the sites out there are actually using photo's that they have permission for. I ended up buying a celebrity photo package - so at least I am allowed to use enough photo's for this one site. Doubt it will get updated very often with new photo's though

Have you tried by searching the Google images?

Thanks I ended up finding some on a different forum. A guy was selling a whole package of legit photo's.

I have more than 2 Gigs of high quality images of various celebrity but only for my collection. I don't know about the licensing. If you need some, I can give you but use at your own risk.
