What You Should Know About Celebrity Stock Images Online

Whether we are blogging or updating our social media fan pages, once in a while we are going to need celebrity stock images. The big question is how much should you pay for high-resolution images for your favorite celebrity?

In a nutshell, this is what you should expect when purchasing celebrity photos online:

1. Personal use photo

If you are downloading photos for personal use, the price tag is comparatively cheaper. You may need a celebrity image for your blog or social media page. You can expect to pay around $19 to download a single high-quality image. Alternatively, you could opt for a free download with reduced resolution but still looks decent. Most stock sites will also include a watermark on their free images as a way of still gaining from your download. This means that when you use the images the way they are, their logos will be visible and you will be unknowingly promoting them.

2. Presentations and Newsletters

Images used for presentations and newsletters often get charged the same as those downloaded for personal use. This is because you are only downloading the image for a report and not for monetary gains. Similarly, one image may cost around $19 or less if you are buying in bulk.

3. Magazines, Books, and Editorial Websites

Images downloaded for magazines, publications, or editorial sites tend to be more expensive. It can cost twice or thrice as much to download one image to go to a news site. On average, an image downloaded for a magazine can cost around $49 while an editorial image would go for as much as $69. It is a good idea to define clearly where you tend to use your image so you can get a good deal when buying celebrity images.

4. Searching for Celebrity Images

Celebrity image stock sites have made it easy for their online users to search for images. When you visit a stock site, you are first presented by a search tab to instantly get what you are looking for. Your search can further be refined by adding filters. You can filter images according to oldest, newest, or editor’s choice. In addition, you can filter out images to include one person, two people or no people at all. Some stock sites also let you determine the orientation of the images, whether horizontal, vertical, square, or panoramic.

Conclusion

There are many avenues online for downloading celebrity stock images. You could opt to go for free stock websites, that often have watermark images or the commercial websites that charge depending on where the image will be used.
