ShaunDon Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 We're currently working on a project in the Middle East, and we're going to need photo content of men in traditional dress from the Arabian peninsula. A review of the normal resources (ArchSoft, Realworld Imagery, etc.) turns up nothing, so I was hoping that someone here knew of a possible source for such content. And to make matters even worse, we also need birds-eye perspectives. If no one knows where we can go for this content, my last hope is that there's someone here who lives/works/or otherwise will be in the region in the next week or two who would be interested in contracting to collect photos for us. Thanks everyone! Shaun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlitos Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 what part of the middle east. there are different types of dress for different regions... i worked on a project in EUA and i had the same problem. So I conduted a in-house photo shoot, but they are not from a aerial perspective.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShaunDon Posted July 27, 2004 Author Share Posted July 27, 2004 Sorry, I should have been more specific. The building we're working on is in the United Arab Emirates. We will likely need both eye-level and aerial perspectives -- however the aerial shot will be much more critical since it is much closer to the building and the activity on the ground should be the focus. Our client has specified that 80% of the people in the image should be in traditional Western business dress, however that leaves the 20% that we'll have to find some way of filling... Thanks!

Ernest Burden III Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 I wonder if you could use models (computer models) for many of these figures and render them from the right angles. Maybe you could find Poser clothes that would do the trick, then do a few poses and render them out with an alpha channel (Poser is relatively cheap). At least for figures that would be background-ish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bio-hazard Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 hi, i work in the UAE and can give you a few alphaed arab people images. The pics are not of very high quality, but i suspect they'll work in almost all but the most detailled shots. However all are eye-level pics. Can't help you with the birds eye. If interested, send me an email to farhaded@hotmail.com Cheers..!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
