Stock Photos for Photo Compositing & Reference Photos For Paintings, for both Digital and Traditional Art

If you can't get out and photograph things like you used to, or perhaps you don't have the means or equipment to photograph the things you want, or you don't have certain subjects in your area to photograph, you're in the right place!

These stock photo packs contain REAL photographs from a REAL photographer -- me! I have invested a ton of money, time and effort into these photos I've taken over the last 12+ years, and now I'm willing to share my finds and favorite subjects with all of you! :)

The licensing on the photos is the same as with the textures/backgrounds - you may use them in any way you see fit as long as they are integrated into a NEW WORK OF ART you create. If you're doing digital or traditional painting, you can use these for reference photos to work from as well.

The photos included in these collections are completely unedited {except for cropping} and are ready for you to mask away the backgrounds and integrate these elements into your photo art as accents, props, etc. It's up to you to denoise, change colors/lighting/etc as you see fit for the art you're working on.

Some photos in each collection may be of the same subject and look similar, but the poses/angles may be different, allowing you many different options for your final art. No photos are repeated in the various collections -- each collection is of the original photos I took on specific dates. Similar subjects do appear in various collections, however, as I have my favorite subjects I photograph regularly.

Using these photo collections, you can create unique and interesting scenes with your subject photo to add whimsy, tell a story, create a mood, etc. Pairing the elements in these stock photos with your own subject photos, and then blending them with our various texture packages, gives you the ability to create some amazing, storytelling photo art!

Photos are various sizes and are JPG files. I have taken all of these photos myself with a variety of equipment {Nikon} including various camera bodies and lenses {from 50mm to 500mm with teleconverters} over the last 12+ years.

There are a mix of subjects in my collections, all direct from my dated folders of what I photographed at the time. {You know I shoot mostly birds, wildlife, and nature things, so that's what you can expect in most of my photo packs!} Also, I often shoot in natural light on cloudy days, giving the best options for editing your photo art, for creating your own lighting and moods, and natural light on cloudy days offers better subject reference detail visibility due to no {or low} harsh shadows and strong light changes.

Please view the collages and read the descriptions to see what type of photos are in the various collections.
