    Greetings to all you designers here ;-)

    I have a quick question for you. I recently started a site about womens' shoes and I need to find some images to put on my site. It's just an informational/review site. Do you know any place for me to get some images for free?

    I did a search for royalty free/stock photos but I only found some sites that sell them... If they sell them - how can they be royalty free. Anyways... any recommendations or thoughts will be greatly appreciated!

    Thanks in advance

    Thanks so much for your reply dynashox.

    Unfortunately, sxc.hu is the only one I already know - unfortunately not a big selection in shoes, especially the kind that I am looking for.

    Would you happen to know any more?

    Royalty free means you are just paying for the right to use the images and wont need to pay everytime you use it, you never own the image.

    Similar to the music on a cd, you dont own the music, you purchase a right to listen to the muisic as you choose and the music so happens to be on a cd or as an mp3 etc.

    Make sure you are still attributing the owner of the image if they request that, it should state on various sites if they require that or not.
