Hello,

I am starting up a new business and need good high quality images and was wondering if i could get some advice from the professionals. :)

The image above is the sort of thing I am looking for, a professional beauty salon. but the problem is all the images i can buy/find off the internet are dull and not very vibrant.

Above are two images I like, I would like to get images of beauty salons that are to a high quality as of the two above.

Are there any websites i can buy theses images?

If I find a local salon which is professional enough for a high quality image, will my sony a200 with lighting extra do the job?

If not, what equiptment will i need to do the job?

All advice will be greatly appreciated.

Lewis

what sort of buisness are you setting up , i'm guessing its not photography.

if its a beauty - surely you need shots of your own set up (and anyway i cant see your competitors letting you use theirs) and you'd be best getting a pro to take them

if its something else and you just ned generic shots check a stock library
 
If you are setting up your own salon, get a pro in to get the shots you want of your set up. If the business isnt directly a salon but supplying good/services etc then check out a stock library like Alamy or Photographers Direct.
 
If you are starting a photography business, you do not want to be buying stock images and passing them off as your own.

Is that your idea?
 
Sorry for being misleading, I am starting a online beauty salon business. The first image is what i want but i want it to look as colourful and vibrant as the other two images. the other two images are not related to my business but only show the professional more vibrant look i am going for.

i want to know what websites are avabilble to buy the rights to images

what equiptment will i need if i was to take them myself in a local salon, i have a sony a200, is that good enough? will i need proper lighting etc?
 
Another vote for Alamy here.
