Hi to all the wonderful people of kirupa!

If I want to propose a compre or design layout to a client for a print collateral like a brochure for example, where should I get stand-in photos for my layout? So far, all I see in the net are photos with huge watermarks on them so I can’t use them. I can propose to client to buy the photos I place on my design study but how can I do it if I can’t even use the images as stand-ins coz of the unsightly watermarks! Do you know a stock image site or site where where I can get low res images with no wmarks, low-res is fine, but big enough so that it’s still sharp enough to be placed in a design study? Also, what’s a stock image site that has the best deal?

Thanks so much!!!
