Whether your an online blogger or just want to add something more colorful to your websites or online presentations, professional photos can be expensive and free quality stock photos near impossible to find. Most stock photo sites require a hefty monthly fee or try to entice you to join with only a handful of free photos. Here are several truly free alternatives with a great selection to choose from.
Public Domain Photos is a collection of 5,000 public domain photos and 8,000 free clipart images available for person and commercial use.
{EDITORS PICK}
DreamsTime has the option to buy photos individually for as little as $0.20 each, subscribe for as little as a month to gain unlimited access or you can choose from their wide selection of free photos! Professional photographers list their stock photos for sale through this site and they often donate a couple photos to attract potential customers to their selection. DT's search option makes it easy to find the photos you need and with thousands of new images added weekly, this site is a keeper.
{HONORABLE MENTION}
SXC is this our personal fav with over 350,000 images of instantly downloadable freebies to browse through. See guidelines for usage options here.
FreeRangeStock is yet another site of totally free stock photography.
And with StockVault you don't even need to create an account to be able to download their images.
Flickr is both a fantastic photo and video sharing community that is also open to anyone. According to their guidelines all photos and video must be submitted by the creator and anything used on outside websites must link back to their original page on Flickr after receiving permission from the photographer or videographer. The selection is great, the community concept phenomenal, the upload and download process easy enough and the price...just right.
