Thanks. We're looking to buy copyrights as well as use what we can through 'good will'. 
Thanks for the advice.

This is not easy. Quality and copyright are major issues. High quality pictures, from photolibraries for instance, are invariably someone else's copyright and costly to reproduce. Freely available images are often low quality, low resolution. 

Best of luck.
