For advertising imagery that speaks to inspirational themes – freedom, strength, beauty, individuality, perseverance, etc. – and for strong editorial images as well, I recommend www.gettyimages.com, one of largest photo libraries in the world. Offices in Seattle, Chicago, Los Angeles, New York City, London, Paris, Tokyo, and two dozen other locations across the globe.

For bright images of Alaska – wildlife, landscapes, patterns and people in nature – and elsewhere, I recommend www.accentalaska.com, owned by Ken & Jacky Graham in Girdwood, Alaska (near Anchorage).

For textbook images and strong calendar, magazine and book material, contact www.drkphoto.com, owned by Dan and Julie Krasemann in Sedona, Arizona (near Flagstaff).

For strong editorial images, mostly for books, magazines and calendars, contact www.peterarnold.com, owned by Peter Arnold in New York City (on Broadway, not far from Times Square).
