TomStack 0 Posted June 27, 2009 The other day I learned of photo requests for an upcoming book on Clownfish for salt water aquariums. The actual request was posted by a photo editor in a subscription based trade e-newsletter. Most of the photos revolved around Clownfish in a aquarium situation. Thinking the editor might need some individual clownfish photos/portraits I emailed her and here is her response: Hi Tom, That's correct. We have all the free ones of those we need. But thanks for asking. C..... On Mon, Jun 22, 2009 at 2:12 PM, <stackt@............> wrote: C..... If I'm reading your (name of e-newsletter) request correctly, you will not consider shots of clownfish underwater in their natural environment?

james 0 Posted June 27, 2009 It sounds like he/she got all the free ones they need from aquarists who shared their photos for free. I'm not surprised really. Cheers James Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers James James, That sounded reasonable, so I wrote her again: "Well, actually they aren't really free... but with the number of images we use, they might as well be. We do subscription service to royalty-free stock houses like iStockphoto, Shutterstock and Dreamstime who have a bunch of the natural environment images. Also, we do get a few from independent photographers or organizations for free - not as many, though." C......
