Searching for Stock Photography on IStockPhoto

The best part about IStockPhoto is the ability to narrow down your search to exactly what you need. Not only can you sort by keywords, but you can use an advanced photo search and narrow down your search by:

• File sizes
• Prices
• Photographer names (if you find a photographer who's work you particularly like)
• File details such as title, contributor, file number, download, and loupe
• Categories, which include:
  • Location - geographic locations
  • People - ethnicity, age, gender, number of people
  • Content - a variety of categories based on themes
• Color - you can search for images containing a particular color
• Copy Space - a unique IStockPhoto feature, this allows you to search for images based on the amount of space in the image. This way you can pinpoint exactly where in a space an image occurs (ie. in the top left corner, taking up the whole image area, etc.)

Sorting Your Photography Search Results

Once you've conducted a search and narrowed down your selection to a group of images you're interested in, you can filter the images by additional parameters such as:

• Best match - this will place additional emphasis on the keywords you used to search
• Age - you can sort by the age of an image. This is useful if you want to search for new images - ie. anything added since the last time you conducted an image search.
• Downloads - search by the number of times a file has been downloaded. This is very useful in pinpointing popular downloads. Or, conversely, you may want to identify images that have not been downloaded a lot, and therefore don't appear in public as often.
• Contributor - you can narrow your search results by photographers. They will be sorted alphabetically and grouped based on the photographer's name. This is useful if you want to differentiate images based on photography style and skill.
• Rating - IStockPhoto community members rate images. This will help you identify images with higher or lower ratings.
• Size - some images are only available in larger formats, which are more expensive. You can filter these out, or conversely, search only for larger images, by using the image size filter.
• Title - if you'd like to sort your stock photography search results by title, you can do so using the title filter.

IStockPhoto Licensing Options

Now that you've found the image you're looking for, you're probably wondering what you can do with it? IStockPhoto images are royalty free, which means you can use them in your brochure, website, etc. and you don't have to pay additional royalties to the photographer. However, if you wish to use them in material you're going to mass distribute or sell for profit, you'll need to purchase an extended license, which will increase the cost of each stock image you select. Use an IStockPhoto Code from the list below to save off stock images, regardless of the licensing option you choose.
