of people that don't look like stock photos
i need some photos that look a little more candid and real-life than what you'd find on istockphoto. the kind of profile photo's you'd see on people's facebook pages. this is for commercial use so they need to be licensed.
any ideas?

I suggest using Getty instead of iStockphoto

Find some on facebook and offer the subject & photographer some money to sign a licensing contract.

You can found really good photos on flickr. Try contacting the owner or some of them actually sell their own.

I've noticed that the amount of time you'll spend surfing / sifting through istock or getty to find the 'perfect' images you could have easily pay a photographer to shoot on site for you.
I know, it sounds ridiculous. But it's fucking true.
