I have a client I'm working with (design) whose brand guidelines dictate that all photography should be natural, and as far from posed as possible. A lot of what I've seen seems like well-shot snapshots. Interesting angles, happy people, non-isolated spaces, a bit of clutter.... human feeling shots.

I'm finding getty to be a bit overwhelming, especially with how many people poorly tag images and the "candid" tag.

Can anyone recommend a photographer or site or even a keyword or two that might assist me in my searching?

You can try Shutterstock -- though unfortunately I personally don't have many "people" pictures there. Their "subscription" model can be economical if you have to get a bunch of pictures at once.

Perhaps if you post the style/subjects of pictures you're looking for we could be of more help.

what images themes are you looking for? I do a lot of shooting on location where hopefully the images looks somewhat natural, although the 'stocky look' sells well so it is hard to say away from :) I certainly have my fair share of posed stuff but I also try to shoot a lot of candid, 'real life scenes' as well.

Anyhow, if you want to take a look you can see my stuff here

Otherwise, if you give us/me an idea of what you are looking for, perhaps we could suggest a photographer who shoots the style you are looking for.
