Free Models Photos

Discussion in 'Photoshop' started by andrej, Apr 21, 2007.

    Do you guys know any site where can I download free nice girls - models photos and use them? So the photos mustn't be copyrighted and must be free to use.

    I'm designing some banners for my client and he's asking me to put some nice girl on the banners. You know, I'm sure you've already seen such banners with smiling girls.

    I'm not looking for any nudity.

    Thanks for the link, but in order to download an image I need some credits, so it's not 100% free. And I cannot just right-click the image and save it, as it's watermarked.

    Any other free sites?

    you only need credits for the non free ones on sxh.hu ;). i think you may have clicked on the ads at the bottom of their listings or something.

    Thanks.

    Actually there are 2 results, free and paid ones. Did you find the photographs at the bottom of the page? (generally they look nicer) those are paid ones, the ones in the top area are not..

    I'd like to download the nicer, but for free.

    Anyone knows such a site?

    Honestly, that's the best one I found online :D especially for people..

    there's istockphoto.com but they're $1 each (very cheap for high quality photographs!) They also give out free weekly photographs... (not sure if they still do this, but I got some off that)

    You can't earn them, you can just pay for them.

    At istock, if you submit photographs and make some sales, you can exchange the $$ earnings to credits there.

    I wouldn't do that. I'm sure my client wouldn't like it.

    A word of caution with sxc.hu:
    Ask the photographer if you can use it. Even though they are free photos to use, one time I used a photo that I retouched and the photographer got mad and made many posts on my forum about it.

    I believe alamy stock photo should fit your needs and i purchased a lot of good quality photo from the site for my membership sites.

    They offered royalty free and license photo.

    For free ones, SXC.hu is the best you can get, especially for people (check the licence under each photo!). Also I have opened in the past a thread related to that where you can find some other sites as well. Check it here: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=268332
    Also, you actually can earn credits on some stock sites, like Dreamstime.com for instance. If you refer people to them who buy credits, you get a small share. The other solution, is what 8everything suggested. Post some of your photos and try to sell them.
