    You can try any free stock photo sites. But make sure to read the license details before putting it up on your site.

    Royalty-free image sites are the answer... huge selection of professional images. You can get an image suitable for a website at $2 to $10. I use istockphoto.com and fotolia.com but there's lots of suppliers.

    If it's just a simple, everyday image you can use google images. Just look out for copyright notices.

        You've got a camera? Do you have a "fat" friend who would volunteer. I take all my own photos - no copyright issues then

    I've used the free stock places but often it's hard to find what your looking for. So much easier and faster just to spend a couple bucks and get exactly what you need.

      i checked out gettyimages, they have a good selection. I was a bit confused with the wording of their terms. Can you just download a picture from the site and use it on your site?

    I usually download and use , in our country there are no rules against that

    so depending on where you live i guess .

    But as long as you do some changes to the image its not a problem.

    All of the suggestions mentioned in this thread are good ideas.
    You might also consider the Public Domain Archives.

    Here's another idea that could prove to be effective.
    Depending upon the design of your site, consider trying illustrations, drawings, gif images, line art, etc.

      Like many other's have said - istockphoto.com is excellent. only costs around $2 for a small image (which is big enough to put on your website).
