List of free stock photo sites

First published on August 22, 2007

Ever need a free photo that’s better than clip art? Contrary to what Adobe keeps trying to say in their spam to me, you don’t need to pay $130 for a stock photo to use in your blog post, article, presentation, artwork, or other creative outlets.

I found Vivien’s list of 8 Finest Bits Of Free Stock Photo Sites and was instantly pleased with the quality of photos available on the sites she listed. Now I don’t have to wade through all those crappy sites that come up on Google that offer nothing good and just link to each other in circles. I was able to quickly find this cool tennis photo for an article I drafted about eZ Publish:

   Free stock photography is for rich kids posing as photographers or for amateurs with more ego than brains. If photos are given for free who pays the expenses: camera, lense, software, computer, connection, travel, time… ?

   Thanks for sharing that information. I knew about morguefile for stock photos, but I didn’t know about any of the others. That is going to be a big help to me.
