Stock Photo Sources:
Free and Pay >>>

The quality of the free sources range from not-so-good to very good with some exceptional gems. There are some illustrations among the photos offered at a few of these sites. Always read the terms of use, restrictions and/ or licenses page(s) first before using or downloading.

If you want your quality, free, royalty-free photo source site listed here, please use the contact form to request. I will look at your site for listing consideration with no guarantees of listing on this page.

The pay-for photograph quality is as expected: very good to exceptional. Most offer one file downloading and collections on CD. I only list the ones offering royalty-free photos. Royalty-free means you pay for it once. The copyrights to the photos always remain with the photographer and/or company. Prices start from as little as $1.00/ photo. Most common, screen-ready pics for website use cost around $30 and up. High resolution photos for print use cost more. Others require you to sign up for a paid short term or long term subscription, or membership with limited or unlimited downloads. Remember to check out the Terms of Use. Almost all require registration to get comps or to even view selections in light boxes.
