WEB DESIGN

We use a lot of stock photo sources, many of them are paid however recently I started having my staff always check the free content available at Kozzi | EXCLUSIVE FREE IMAGES | High-quality Photos and Illustrations. They are always adding new content and vectors.

Had anyone else here tried out Kozzi | EXCLUSIVE FREE IMAGES | High-quality Photos and Illustrations. ?

  No DON'T! Those images are, for the most part, not available for commercial use.

  VERY VERY VERY Bad advice!!!
  
  The majority of the images found with the Google image search are subject to copyright, Google even tells you that on each image.
  
  NEVER use Google Images on your site. Instead try Creative Commons, but even in that case make sure you leave the required attribution for each image you use.

iStockPhoto has the best images in my opinion but they parent cheap either is the only thing.

Like a couple have already, do not use google images and steal other people's images! If you're going to use stock photos to generate money, then why not pay for those images?

But, to go back to OP's original question: I haven't used Kozzi but I'll go take a look.

I've just took a quick look at kozzi and it does look good, but i will have to make sure we can use these images for commercial use.

But for stock photos i prefer to use depositphoto's, they've never let me down yet.

Thanks

stock.xchng - the leading free stock photography site

You have to check the license per photo, but there's some good stuff there and it's free. Some uploaders require you to contact them and ask permission per use, which I can never be bothered with (when I need stock photography, I need it yesterday), so you have to check for that. The license is clearly displayed on the way to the full-size image so it's not as bad as I've maybe made it sound.

I personally have used a couple free sites for stock images, but it is really hard to find ones that let you use them for commercial use. Also the free ones usually don't have as good of selections. I would stick with Istock, its worth the little price for the ease and large selection.

  Check out ArenaCreative - we have recently added thousands of images from new contributors. Its a smaller collection, but excellent content and prices (we think)
  
  Thanks

Legally you cannot use a photo you find on the web with out the photographer's permission.

My favorite stock photo website is Royalty Free Stock Photos

Here is where you can find some other inexpensive stock photo directories:

Royalty Free Photos for Web Design

Another site list can be found here:
Microstock Photos

Goodluck

Kozzi images are all free and usable for commercial use.

They are all free! We use them for many projects. Lots of great vectors as well.

You should never use Google images. You will get yourself in trouble and if your designing for a client you will get them in trouble.

Lawsuits for stolen images suck its about $150K per image you can be charged in a court of law in the USA I don't know about other countries but I am sure in most it is similar.
