Hi Guys, I need some photos and images for my websites and I need free royalty-free photos. Almost all of the websites I checked are kind of scam. They claim they give you royalty-free photos but at the end of the day they give you nothing for free and rather the photos are really expensive. Do you know any real websites for getting free photos? Thank you,
Depending on what you need, you can find some public domain at wikimedia.. http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Pictures_and_images. Other than that, I usually buy mine per project basis.. There used to be something called hemera as I recall, might beable to pick a used pack/bundle for cheap at amazon.. Best I can offer.. regards, NM.
sxc.hu is all free image stock. learn to use photoshop and it will be alot more apealing to use.. Those photographers at dreamstime.com and istockphoto.com work really hard to produce those images. and the money is worth it if your site it worth it.

That is true that those images are not cheap but the quality of those images are very good . For example on istockphoto.com You can buy a lot of good images and I think they are biggest that kind of site . If You need totally free images You should go on sxc.hu .
Try free image section of Dreamstime stock photo agency. It contains more than 240.0K (really) free images. Those free images are usually donated by commercial photographers who do it mostly for publicity and self-promotion reasons. And thus images in free section are mostly of very high quality!
http://stockphotobase.com Not FREE. But the cheapest professional photos you'll find. Not gonna lie. It's my stock photography database but we charge just $100 for one year's membership which entitles you to UNLIMITED DOWNLOADS. You can also buy individual photos as a free member for $1.50 We only have a few hundred photos at the moment but are BRAND SPANKING new but are adding 50 or so a day and we anticipate having nearly 1000 within a week. We also offer a 'Request an Image' service if you are looking for something specific. Let me know. Register here: http://stockphotobase.com/register/
How can you call SCAM websites selling stock photos for $1 ??? Can't you read the $ sign on the home page before going any further?
Haven't you guys tried www.sxc.hu ? I think it offers almost all kinds of photos for free, some of them may require links though
Go with sxc.hu....There are many free images which you can use in your website. Yes, there are few images which need permission or contact from Photographer but its worth.
They seem to have better tagging than most. What I mean is content that is at multiple sites often shows up with an istockphoto search that does not show up with identical search terms at some other sites.
they are not scam sites. people will pay for good quality pictures and there are lots of sites that sell pictures, art, stock, videos, vectors and more. if you want free picture check out this site: http://publicdomainclip-art.blogspot.com/ hopefully you find it useful.
