“Alamy has established themselves as a provider of excellent imagery, offering both wide ranging in content and often surprising photographs. The constant uploading of new images, by their photographers, stops the site from becoming stale. Added to which the speed of the site and their excellent service is a rare treat and ensures that I use them on a daily basis. They seem to have managed to combine quantity and quality and are never fazed by the requests I send them."
