Stock Images
Above is a selection of images I could potentially use in my magazine publication.
If I were to invest in these images, I would use them as background images to accompany articles that I haven't already collected original images for. These images are appropriate to my magazine publication as they all depict members of specific subcultures; a Rude Boy at the top left, a Punk at the top right and a Mod on the below two images. Although I can't find any stock images of Skinheads, I think these images would be suitable as there is a considerable amount of crossover between the subcultures. To legally gain access to the original versions of these images, without the watermark, I would need to pay 3 credits per image, iStockphoto's version of currency, which is equivalent to £69. I will also have to invest in an Extended License which can be purchased along with these credits. An Extended License allows me to use these images for mass print; giving me a license for unlimited reproduction/print run.
As I do not have a budget for my magazine publication, I will not be able to invest in these images. Therefore I am going to produce my own original photographs for my magazine on a minimal budget.
