Well, SS has boatloads of images of smiling multi-racial groups of students including (but not limited to) mine.  This guy should try doing a couple searches and maybe go past the first page.   ::)

Maybe it's easier to just solicit exact copies?

the job he's asking for is called "photo researcher" and it was a well paid job in early stock agencies.

it's laughable he's offering 10$ for what could easily take hours of work, i don't think he's just seeking generic images of smiling students, there must be much more than that.
