What Image Stock Websites are you Using?

by honor
7 replies
Just wondering what are some good sites to use for images. I have been doing some research but would like some further help/reviews from you guys. I was told Google images were allowed but I don't think that is possible right? I have an online magazine and would like some thoughts. Sorry I am unfortunately a newbie to this site so excuse me if I have posted in wrong category!

    Hi and welcome to the forum.

    Do a search and advanced search from the drop down. I've seen
    people post links in response to similar questions. Should be able
    to find some good discussion and references.

    There are lots of places for free stock images. But many times I
    had difficulty finding exactly what I wanted from free places. Not
    always, but frequently.

    There's also the possible issue involving copyright, etc.

    So, I don't like guessing or dealing with poor selection. I tend to
    use istock which is a paid-for image repository. I've rarely been
    disappointed with them.

    Good luck.

    Ken

    Hi,Honor,
    I am also a newbie and like you I am forever searching for good advice.I have been pointed in the direction of-istockphoto.com, they are cheap and I can`t imagine looking any further in the near future.
    Hope this helps.
    Sam.

    Wishing you all I wish myself.

      Well I might just change your minds....

      I too love Dreamstime and Istockphoto but recently found Photoxpress.

      Photoxpress has a beautiful free images section. You can download 1 per day but if you link to your facebook or give other info. you can get more.

      You have to give credit to the photographer and to Photoxpress.

      These images are very high quality and FREE.

    Do a search for "royalty free stock photography". There are several, including iStockPhoto, that will pop up on the first 2 pages that will give you a decent range.
