The other day I was helping out a client looking for different types of people in our stock photo base. After working in the stock photo industry for some years you begin to recognize the different models, and you’d probably greet them as old friends if you ran into them on the street. Even when you have 10.000+ models in your image base, as we do now, you still recognize a surprising number of them!

So at first I didn’t stop to take a closer look when I saw a familiar face. But there was something about those blue eyes that made me click back to take a closer look. I thought to myself “This must be that Grey’s Anatomy guy, Avery, but is he a stock photo model”? I got Jan to check the model release, and it’s true.

Jesse Williams, who plays Jackson Avery in Grey’s Anatomy, is a stock photo model represented at Yaymicro.com!

Let’s enjoy his pictures while we wait for season 7, where he’ll play a leading role. First episode, “With You I’m Born Again” airs on September 24, at ABC.

Cheers, Linda

Still a common sight, but in a few years they might be gone. More and more countries are banning Incandescent Light Bulbs, as they’re not energy efficient. This image is from photographer antonprado.

First, we’re sorry for the days without any image of the day. An easy choice for image of the day these days would be images with Swine flu themes.

This one is from YamatoHD.

Looking for purple images I came across this soft and beautiful image from cla78. Take a look at cla78’s portfolio for more great images.

I really enjoy the cartoon-like vectors from clairev. With over 700 vectors and a total of 1029 images in the portfolio you’ll find a great variety – but with the same style and design.
