Online Stock photography, anyone?
There are two kinds of online photography available: royalty-free and rights-managed. When you purchase a royalty-free image, you can use it anytime you want. Rights-managed photos are one-time use, and varies in price (usually more expensive). These are the ones I used the most, but just type in your browser "stock photography" and other websites will pop up.
