Where to get photos for web design?

[dMan]

Check out stock.d2.hu. They have a huge database of images and it's free.

I get a 404 error when i try that link

Grrrr...the site was there 2 days ago! Strange.

I know quite a few designers that use images from mags, books, whatever, scan them and change them a bit, or whatever. I would probably not recommend getting into a habit about this, but sometimes it can help when you are in a pinch. Very tricky subject this though... copyright and what to use/not to use.

Just be careful with that...

www.digitalvision.com has a wicked collection. Full of broadcast motion graphics, vector graphics, animations, music, photography... If you jump on their site you can have them send you a free catalog full of samples (I would recommend getting one, it is good for generating ideas if nothing else) Go check them. I don't know what their prices are like, but I think you can buy individual images from them for not too much.

Well, I don't think anyon mentioned this one yet - the mother of a all stock photo searches - http://www.creativepro.com/eservices/imagegrabber - it has a meta search of multiple photo sources, including Getty and many others. Very handy.

Holy crap, nice find! Been looking for something like this for a while now.

[iFroggy]

Yeah, I like that site a lot.

I am guessing you mean free stock photos and not animattions and stuff. If you do a search on google for "free stock photos" you will find some places that will let you use them. Just be careful about reading the Conditions of Use. If you go to http://www.deviantart.com they also have a stock photo section.

Go to http://www.gettyimages.com , they have so many images on their database. Some are royalty free some are not.

Thanks Zewy that's an awesome site.

I actually just broke down and bought a clip art package that includes a lot of photos.

300,000 images for $50 (USD) I figgured was a good investment.

az!

google image search. just make sure they are free for use

[virtuoso]

wow...nice list ilikechikin

[derby34]

Try www.dreamstime.com , they're new but have some great stuff in there. The price is only $1 and the resolution is flawless. I use them for all my web or DTP work.
I used getty before but they are really expensive.

Why pay $40 for one image when I can get it for $1?
