10 Resources for Breathtaking and Free Stock Photos • A picture speaks louder than a thousand words. Every site uses imagery in some form or another. A couple of good photos can really change the way a web page feels. Nowadays there is so much vivid imagery available for free online, a huge leap from the sterile stock photos that were once the standard. • Where do you find great stock photos though? You can often get them for free, but you have to be aware of the implications. Legally speaking, free photos will either fall under public domain or the creative commons license. Even then, some authors might request credit for their work.
