The good old people question - geometry or photos?

[kopperdrake]

I tend to use geometry people by choice in any arch viz, occasionally I use photographed people if the building needs to be composited into an existing street scene.

I've a client who's pointed me at a website and asked me to quote on simialar imagery, and I can't see geometry people giving the same feel, so I was wondering, are there any decent libraries of photographed people out there, or is it a question of standing on a street corner and taking shots of passers by?

Oh - the website they pointed me to is http://www.southreefproperties.co.uk/index.htm

Someone posted this many moons ago. They have a great collection of people, already clipped and everything. Trees & stuff too, plus its all for free!

Useful! Thanks :) I could do with some more business-type people, time to scour google, though finding Euro-looking people is always the hardest bit I find.

There's always iStockphoto.com. Tons of stuff.

Thanks RJ, I didn't even think about those sorts of places!
