Need Help BIG PHOTOS - For a Store front graphics- Beauty Salon

[ARGENTO]

Hi !

I need to know where would it be a good online site to download high quality PHOTOS to be printed on a big size window.
36 inches x 72 inches
i think i will print it a 150 or 120 dpi finally.

I need the image to look good for pedestrians that walk close to it...and also cars passing by.

As you may see I am a beginner in this business....But I am always very thankful for your guidance.

Thanks!

Leandro

The sites on the web are legion Shutterstock, 123rf, etc. Stay away from Getty, they think they crap gold bricks. Any one of the myriad of sites can accommodate your needs at reasonable prices. Whatever you get you'll no doubt have to enlarge it a bit. For this you'll want a good spline fit package like PhotoZoom and others. Don't just grab a corner and pull.

Did you try looking up some images you like on Google, you can set the search settings for higher quality images.

No, that would be copyright infringement, unless you want to track down the owner for whatever random image you find on Google and convince them to license the image to you. Much easier to use a legit stock photo site.

All your suggestions make a big change for me!

I also wanted to ask you...

You live in Miami, go out with your camera and make it local. (not saying go to the nude beaches)

I went to the nude beach once.
Not very nice experience.
But I have to say that swimming butt naked in the ocean is awesome.



Thanks

Seriously though, you don't think people will relate to local pictures going on the windows?

I think they would in many businesses,
But in this case this customer wants a woman with beautiful hair...and that is all she wants.
And nails...and stuff like that.

Keep in mind that Miami is seen by people in other states as Beaches+Sun+boat life...and stuff.
And Life here in general is not like that at all.

Most of Us see the ocean every couple months.

Our old website had a portfolio of shirts we screen printed, they were cut outs of pictures we’d taken.
Our new developer suggested we make it personal with real people who really wear our shirts, it’s a great idea

So you either don't own a camera or don't live in Miami.

Because you went to the nude beach in Florida, a bunch of old people, go to the beaches in Europe especialy France, they play naked vollyball

I live in SW Miami. 1 hr drive to the beach.

I do have a Camera...not so good one.
I am not a great photographer.
But i have a great photographer that works for me.---- As a contractor.

This customer I'm working for is the kind that does not want to hear my opinions.
Mostly She likes to decide everything by herself.
I have tried already to offer good stuff and She likes to feel in power all the time.

So, she shown me the pictures that she liked from google.
She does not want to spend Good money on the job.
So all this thing account, after all.

I do not say your idea of making it local is not valid.
I think is a great idea and I would like to hear more about your views on this regard.

Thanks!

No, that would be copyright infringement, unless you want to track down the owner for whatever random image you find on Google and convince them to license the image to you. Much easier to use a legit stock photo site.

Actually Google changed their settings, you can no longer view original image and just hit save as.

Tbh if I needed a generic background like a sunset or blue sky I would just use google images, now if you want to do that you have to go to the website and see if it’s available there.

Most customers will not want to pay for a photo shoot.

Images found on Google Image Search aren't free for anyone to use. They belong to the people who created them. If you don't want to pay for a generic image of a sunset, why not try one of the multitude of free options available?
