I want to try making some skin textures myself and I need high resolution photos of faces and bodies to use in the process. Is there a website or two that has a variety of textures suitable for that purpose that I can buy?
Thanks!

Does anyone know of any other Internet source for skin textures - I'm not finding everything I need on 3d.sk. I'm even interested in high resolution photographs of people where their face, and maybe arms and hands are visible.
All I can think of is Ten24 and their digital store though they won't be higher resolution than what you can get elsewhere. Generally people want some resolution that is practical to use with their models and computing systems. If money is no object, glance through the back of a Cinefex magazine for companies that sell digital assets for movies or a cheaper option would be to hire your own model, rent a photo studio and shoot away...I believe Male-M3dia did that once for a character that he later pulled from the store (I did purchase it before it was pulled and clearly one can do a professional albeit very expensive job of it).
3d.sk has all that and more. You can paint a whole human from head to toe with the images at 3d.sk. It's a subscription service.
Another vote for 3d.sk. Specifically, www.3dscans.sk which specializes in 3D scan data.
I can't imagine what you could want for human texture data that they don't have. Here's a search on their site that gives you the full body texture photo data:

Click on one of the full body color thumbnails and it takes you to the album where that model is photographed from every angle and from every distance. If you subscribe to them, you can download to your heart's content.
edit - fixed link
If anyone ever needs any custom photography done for textures I know a small stock image company and have done business with them for well over a year now. They hire the models and do all the photoshoots and will even do custom shoots and exclusive deals as well (they're primarily stock images for book covers.
Anyway now that I'm learning DAZ I've been telling them about the 3d thing, they are very interested in doing whatever photography might be needed for textures and whatnot. lol! Anyway, since I'm so new to DAZ, I still don't know enough to even ask the questions, but if anyone is interested in opening a dialogue with them, send me a PM and I'll put you in touch.
I can tell you they have some of the best prices with their stock photos and exclusive deals for my niche genre, and they also have top notch customer service on top of it - I'm also pretty certain that their prices will be next to nothing all things considered.
Maybe I'm searching incorrectly. 3dscans.sk. My search criteria is: Woman, 21-30, Head.
The results of the search give me a choice of 5 faces. There are certainly more than 5 different types of complexions. Just with African American skin alone, there are dozens, if not hundreds of variations.
You should be searching 3d.sk itself. There are many hundreds of full photo shoots. Each full photo shoot has a hundred or so pictures. They also have photo reference of clothing, shoes, etc. There are models of all ages (18 up); male and female; black, white, Asian, other.
