Where to get photos for web design?

[boywonder27]

I am looking for photos to add to new websites I am designing. I am against taking someone else photos and using them for my self. So where can I get some for free use or a small royalty fee?

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.

I have a search, so many conditions. I need to use them on clients websites. On most places are vary poor on there layout of the photos, spend hours going through each page, and nothing good. Some on needs a one stop place.

You know what they say... you get what you pay for

well, most PC magazines actually bundle free photos with there monthly issues, so just try going for that....or ask your mates for back issues or something...I think PC Plus does it...not that sure tho!

FInding photos of Computer Servers is a pain in the ---. I have never spent so much time looking for on e spcific picture. All these photo sites are a joke, hugh database, with not one good picture of a server. It takes time to go through 600 pictures on each site. When you come across something it is $50 and up to use a picture. For this money and time looking, I could have taken a picture myself and edit it in photoshop. That is what I will do. I do not know who would pay such money for the photos. wow good to get that off my chest. lol

Are you looking for something like this:

[boywonder27]

Yes That is what I am looking for!!! Where di you get it at?

[Apok]

i got it from google image search
it may be copyrighted but im sure if you ask for permission from whoever owns it then you would probably be able to use it

just make sure you put a 'Copyright Blah Blah' at the bottom of the page, but only if they ask :P

I found an awsome resource for images that has come in handy on many an occasion: www.istockphoto.com

It's free to sign up, but you pay per download with download credits. You can buy packages of credits in $10, $20, $50, and $100 amounts. $100 is the best value if you have a lot of future projects: you get 250 downloads for $100!

enjoy

I am working on a photography site that has photos for commercial use. Only a small data base but lots of great landscape pics of New Zealand and Austaralia as well as many other catagories. On line soon at www.andrewwhyte.com You may find something on it you like. All photos are my work.

Some great places are
istockphotos.com
gettyimages (not sure of URL, possibly gettyimages.com)
You can find a lot of great galleries on google, or, many web designers have portfolios of photography for sale.
