Stock Photography
Corbis images
Corbis images are stock photography. Corbis and Getty offer similar products. Our Getty subscription has more images available but also a more complex site to use. If you are just wanting an image or two Corbis may be the easiest access for you.
Getty images
All users must come into the library January of each year and sign an I-Promise form to get the password to log in. After an I-Promise form is on file for that calendar year we will be able to send you updated passwords if you email us, aifl_library@aii.edu from your ai student email account.
Getty is one of several large vendors of licensed and other rights-managed stock imagery, editorial imagery (e.g., pix of celebs, news events) and motion video. They sell to advertising and PR professionals. We are their first academic customer. The Art Institutes are licensing a subset of their full line: royalty-free RF images. All the other rights-managed images are viewable at Gettyimage.com, but need to be purchased by the user if wanted. They are not included in the AI subscription.
