Im a large fan of face claims sometimes- while i can see when its unnecessary, i just like having a face claim. However, i only like doing faceclaims of actors/actresses, so does anybody have a place where i can find actor/actress face claims? I hate to say, but interest does a horrible job of only showing professional actors/actresses, or never crediting who the character is or even who is playing them or just who is in the photo, so id rather not use Pinterest to FIND an actor/actress in the first place.
And just for good measure, what are your opinions on faceclaims? I like them for imagery, but some people find it unnecessary!

I don't usually use real people for face claims, but when I used to (or on the rare chance that I do) I would browse a website called backstage. It's for hiring actors and other kinds of talent, and you can filter by what you have in mind - sex, race, age range, hair color, etc.

@autumoon And if you're looking for someone already dressed for a period piece, just look for obscure movies. Everyone likes to make lists of their favorite B-grade movies, and they can be used as a catalog for face claims. Pick a genre, google "(your genre here) movies" and you're bound to get a few lists. Then you just need to pick a movie and boom, face claim with appropriate attire and a name.

You might also be interested in looking for models, but they tend to not give their names whenever they can. They are a very good source of unique appearances and can be found by looking at fashion websites. Celebrity fashion is also a thing, and they are almost always named. But you might find that they tend to follow most of the big name actors.

Honestly:

>google (or literally any other search engine, bing, yandex, etc.)
>tumblr rp fc directories
>imbd/rym/etc. listings

Are some of the ones off the top of my head. Also, can't forget the:
