Pinterest is full of ig selfies, movies screenshots, magazine photoshoots etc., packs for artists only have naked ppl posing. I'm looking for your average ppl doing mundane, everyday things. I'm shit at photography and also feel awkward going out and taking pictures of randos.

Fuck off retard, Google is nothing but canned stock photos and AI slop. Op is right to ask for resources.

If you do that you're a creep.

Anything I search on google images it's indian AI slop mixed with a few random real things and a few DEI things. I didn't imagine Google images turned so bad recently. I think yandex is still the only usable'ish search engine left for images.

yandex is miles better, but still full of corporate stock images

>go outside anddo quick sketches of people
if I feel awkward taking photos, what makes you think I would want to risk them coming over and looking at what I draw?
>copy other artists who do scenesnlike that
don't want to copy artists because they already solved the visual problems in their own way, I want to do it on my own.
>take screencaps of extras in movies
that's what i've been doing occasionally, but it's a pain in the ass looking for shots and is still very posey in comparison to the real thing.

Skill issue. Literally searched for people on the street and normal pics came out.
>>7213710
Kys faggot

>>7213701

The website I like to use is pbase.com, it's a gallery site for photographers. Mostly it's for hobbyists uploading pictures from their vacation so there's a lot of candid street photography.
The search feature is very hit-or-miss. It's based on the names of the photo albums, so you should try searching for events like festivals or faires or the names of cities and countries. I had a friend who thought the website sucked because he tried to search for "old people" and didn't get anything, but who's going to tag their own photos as "old people"? Lots of good wildlife photography on there too.

Not if you can show people you're an artist. Bring a little portfolio with you so you can show people your work

Also look for candid photos

I recall of a website of an Aussie photographer who would shoot and post random public scenes. I think it's because it's legal to do so there or something, I don't recall exactly.

And I don't remember the website, but perhaps someone else does?
