There are two ways to find the image you’re looking for, they are keyword searching and category searching.
Searching by Keywords:
Enter your keyword(s) in the blank field at the top of the page and click ‘Search’. This can be a name, title, or subject. (For example ‘Elizabeth Taylor’, ‘Breakfast at Tiffany’s’, ‘hospital’. Other typical subject searches might be ‘jewellery’, ‘blonde’, ‘guitar’ etc.). The wording is not case sensitive.
Searching by Categories:
Every image in our collection is categorized under relevant headings, you can browse images by selecting the category heading from the Browse our Categories section. Within a category you can narrow your search by selecting a sub-category. Make a choice from this and use the Next button to take you through a predefined selection. (For example if you need to illustrate a feature on holidays choose the Themes heading, then Leisure).

- 1. When you have reviewed your search results on our website tick the “Search on Alamy” box at the top. When the results show enter the search term again and if necessary select Next to move to more pages.
