hey y'all, am curious if any of you know some good sites to get proper bikini shots that i can license (so that i can crop out and incorporate into a shot of a mexican beach)

its for a project im working on, and ive now gone through getty images, and a few other stock sites but nothing is up to the quality we're looking for.

lookin for basically sports illustrated swimsuit style girls and shots.... i know REALLLLL classy lol

anyways, any suggestions would be grraaannnddd!!!

modelmayhem?

istockphoto doesn't have any boobies?

Look though some of the photogs on deviant art, there are some very good pros there.

Have you browsed through iStockphoto? It's hard to beat their prices, and there's some decent photos on there.

i'm surprised the regular stock sites don't have any "summer fun" type shots.

By a whole minute! Feel the pnwnage!

the stock photo sites just dont have the umphhh we need... we've now done two shoots.... the first one u can see here http://www.thebpmfestival.com/

unfortunately the mexican model (who under normal circumstances would have worked) showed up to the shoot 4 months pregnant.... so i photoshopped her to a tasteful level but now she is too airbrushed according to the partners...

the second shoot was done with a girl in a studio in a bathing suit that was a little too stripperific... so that has been ixnayed as well...

hence we are now well behind schedule, and need to get some backup plans as it sounds as thought the 3rd shoot is falling apart... hence trying to find a suitable stock photo...

however i havent been able to find any that are up to the standard we need, and that will be able to be suitably super imposed onto the tourism mexico backdrop....

i did come across this pic on that model mayhem site....

mayhem indeed

some photographers here use that site for finding models wanting to do shoots. He's got some great girls for his portfolio from there (clean...I've never seen dirty shots).

Anyway, I posted it because I thought you could find one you like and ask the girl directly to use it versus buying rights from a stock library.

or invite her over for cocke (coke and cock)

suicidegirls?

yeah i figured thats what the site was for storm... unfortunately we're running out of time, and the model we have lined up for tomorrow's shoot could potentially work... however somehow the photographer has taken this job as a chance to do a creative... taking shots that are not going to be useable, so seeing as to how things have worked out so far im not holding my breath...

thanks for the input so far everyone, appreciate it... am at my wits end... and am so sick of looking at girls in bikinis right now :(
