the definition isn't usually very high on the web,  so they make poor quality photos

Do yourself a favour and buy a stock photo from a photo library.

As Mike says you are going to get a decent resolution that looks good printed as well as web but more importantly you won't get your ass sued off by who ever owns/licenses the picture. Typically you are looking at £500 plus potential legal costs.
It's not expensive, you just can't afford it.

Some kind soul my send you something via email.

You won't get before and afters off istockphoto and the likes but you will get babies puppies and the like on carpets.

I would sign up and go to the free section download the different sizes and print off. Then you will know what to expect.

You realy do need to work on your own ones. Every time you see a minger take a photo.

The number of times I've done mingers and they have scrubbed up well but didn't take photos.  :(  And the same is true of some of the carpets I've done too.  :D

Paul i have lots of photos but not any before & after photos.

and most of my photos have me in them so are hard to use on other people website.

this is why Mark from DP  hired a professional photographer to take a selection of photos for his sites. it hard to get good photos

it took about 150 shots to get 20 usable photos.

what photos do you need specifically?

I was looking for  some basic wand images running over a carpet. May be a stained carpet or upholstery. Would not expect this for nowt.
I have been through the online picture sites and nothing seems real.
Your photos seem to have a feeling of realism about them, Any help at all appreciated

Thanks Paul

istock.com one of the leading photo library in the world, can see you picture in hi resolutions for a few more dollars.
Although you will be limited, but there are a few carpet cleaning one on there

Mike, do you still use the 4 inch tool for stairs? I had a 3 inch extracta tool and it was great. Now using a twin jet stair wand with greater pressure but I don`t think it cleans as well, but is quicker.
