Reference Photos Deviantart
What are reference photos? Reference photos are, in short, photos you look at and often try (to an extent) to copy in your artwork. The most typical example is in realistic work, when someone chooses a photo and tries to copy it as exact as possible. It is also possible to use the photos to a smaller extent - for example, to find a nice color scheme (I know of instances where someone has used.
The only issue I am running into is finding good reference photos of people in very specific poses. Obviously posing people and drawing them live would be the best but is not feasible for me. So far I've mainly been using Google and Pinterest for images, which is fine, but it is really hard to find quality images that match what I need.

Happy holidays! Just a small update to the site today. Fixed our image upload process so new images can be added again. I added a few new ones as a test, but will be adding more soon.
If anyone has pictures they'd like to submit, you can send samples to artomizer@sketchdaily.net. Updated some image classifications based on user reports (thanks!). We know how hard it is to source reference photos for subjects and places that aren't readily available to you that are also completely free to use without strings.
