Image: Screen grab from PicApp website by Jason Bean
In the days of really trying to be careful about legally using images and attributing them to the correct source, I decided to head out to PicApp’s website first and see what they could offer me for a post I’m working on.
I typed in "financial" on the search box and returned the following results displayed in the screen capture above.
Can someone please tell me the correlation between my search term and the thousands of photos like the ones above in their suggested images?

Hi,
Thanks for your feedback on our site.
Actually there is a correlation between the images & the keyword search.
First, PicApp has millions of images of both creative (illustrative) images & editorial images (news, sport, entertainment, current events etc? ).
You searched for ?financial? in editorial search & got the most recent & related editorial images to your search.
The first images you see are of ?Leryn Franco?, who is an olypmic athlete who financed herself through modeling.
Some other results are of images taken on the set of 'Ugly Betty' in NYC's financial district today.
The sports images were taken at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia home of the eagles.
Also you can see the latest images of the financial markets from around the world as they keep coming.
Clicking on an image would detail the editorial context of the image & its related keywords.
PicApp is one of the largest resources for free legal images online, as we are working on increasing our already Hugh inventory of images (more than 10 millions), we are also working on improving the search relevancy in the site.
Thanks & hope to see your post with PicApp soon.

Thanks for stopping by and following-up on my questions. All those reasons make sense, just not the first impression I think anyone would probably get if searching for the word "financial". Great service though. Trying to use it more and more.
