I'm relatively new at photoshop (about 6 months) and I have officially run out of close up portraits to practice on. All of our family photos are now as touched up as I can get them. Where can I find close up shots of peoples faces to practice on? I've tried stock xchange and google but they don't really have pictures like you would see on a makeup ad.

Thanks

Just curious if you have a camera why don't you take a self picture and work on that?

I sent 6 pictures to Danny upto now only 2 have been used, so many when he gets back to the forum he will add them so you and everyone else can work on.

I have tried taking pics of myself, but my camara isn't the greatest and it doesn't take close ups without blurring. There is never enough detail to work with. :sad:

There are several other areas on the web you can get pictures. One is:
http://www.morguefile.com/
As the site says, its a "creepy" name but it has roots in the publishing industry.
There is also this site:
http://gimp-savvy.com/PHOTO-ARCHIVE/
It has links to several copyright-free sites

Another source of pictures is to use Google/Images and use portraits as the search term. Another source is the library of congress
<http://www.loc.gov/>

Take a look at this website (All photos are distributed for free)

This is just one page of their people images --
