Construction Photographs - Questions |
 |
Where do these construction pictures come from?
The pictures
were taken primarily in the Dallas / Ft. Worth, Texas area. They are taken at
actual construction sites, and are not posed shots. If you need free stock photos
of general contractors, construction crews or construction projects, you've come
to the right place!
How are the photos organized? How do I find pictures
that cover the construction subject matter I'm looking for?
The construction
photos are grouped into 16 albums that match the divisions used by general contractors
for their standard bidding documentation. In each album you will find small, fast-loading
thumbnails of all the available pictures for that division. You can also view
a larger version of any thumbnail by clicking the link next to the thumbnail.
If you find a photo you'd like to use, simply click on the Request This Picture
link next to the thumbnail, and provide your name and email address. The link
to the full size image with no copyright watermark will appear on screen and it
will be emailed back to you in a matter of minutes.
How can the photographs
be used?
You may use the photographs on your websites and computer presentations,
or in print documents like marketing literature, magazines or reports. The full
size images are approximately 6 mega-pixels (MP) in size, and were taken with
a 35mm-equivalent digital camera and good quality lenses. Some of these images
have been used in four-color print documents very successfully. You can see some
of the ways our free stock photos have been used on our applications
page.
You are not required to send us a link to the page where you use
our photo, but there is a bonus to you if you do! If you send a link to a page
where our photos are used, we'll be happy to list your page on our Links
page and hopefully drive more traffic to your site as well! You
can send us that information using our contact form.
If you use our
photographs in your magazine, send us a copy and we'll include a link to your
website! Use the contact form for more information.
How
can the photographs NOT be used?
Why do you offer
photographs for free?
Ultimately we may choose to charge for the use of
our photos. Before we can do that, however, we need to have regular traffic to
our site. By allowing free use of the pictures now, we expect to get our name
and link on various websites and improve our search engine ranking. We want to
be linked on your website and have a photo credit in your print document, and
we're willing to allow you free use of our photos to accomplish that. Further,
if you will send us a link to a page where you have used one of our pictures,
we'll post that on our links page and hopefully drive more traffic to your site
as well.
Will I get a bunch of junk e-mail if I request a photo? I don't
want to be put on a mailing list!
We are not compiling the names/emails
of people who contact us. We will not share the information with marketers, resellers,
advertisers or anyone else. We will not be sending out broadcast emails. Requesting
a photo will not generate junk e-mails for you because your information will not
be given to anyone else or used by us for any mail lists or advertising. The e-mail
address is necessary so we can send you the link to the full size picture. If
we find someone who is using one of our photos without the appropriate photo credit,
we will contact them in order to address that issue. Other than that, we have
no intention of contacting anyone who requests photos from this site.
Our
goal is to generate links back to us around the internet. We have no desire to
build mailing lists, sell information or generate spam for you or anyone else.
Are
you trying to put professional photographers out of business?
ConstructionPhotographs.com
recognizes that many hard working professional photographers earn a living taking
photographs of scenes similar to some of those posted here. We do not intend to
show disrespect to these professional photographers, but offer our photographs
for review of construction through our cameras. Professional photographers are
often contracted for specific photographs of particular scenes or themes. These
professional photographers spend hours setting up and getting the perfect picture.
We take the photo as it happens and move on.
We encourage individuals and
advertisers to use the services of their local professional. We also encourage
advertising agencies to review the photographs on this site for composition and
ideas, then contract with local professional photographers in their area for specific
photographs. ConstructionPhotographs.com does not and will not contract for specific
photographs.
