Hi Mike,

Sounds what you need is a source for stock photography, not
necessarily clipart (which I associate more with cartoons, symbols,
etc.).

For stock photos try http://www.gettyimages.com/ - they have a
search function so you can (relatively) quickly find the type of
images you're looking for.
