If you’re like me and do not have a whole lot of money to throw around trying to find images for your blog, you’ll be happy to know that there are a ton of places where you can find free stock photos. Even better, there are some sources that don’t require you to provide an attribution, which can save you lots of time in that you can do bulk downloads of photos and save them for later use. In fact, that is exactly what I did when I found some of these websites! You’ll also find that all of these websites I’ve listed offer high-res images for the best quality you can find.
Cupcake
Photographer Jonas Nilsson Lee offers free stock photos to the public domain. That means no attribution ever unless, of course, you want to.
Death to Stock Photo
This is a free stock photo library. While you have to supply your email and wait for photos to be delivered to you once a month, they are all high quality, beautiful photos. I have subscribed to this service, and I have been nothing but pleased with the images. Oh, and you get a free photo pack when you sign up.
DesignersPics
Photos found on DesignersPics are given free of copyright by photographer, web designer and developer Jeshu John. Attribution is requested but not required.
Epicantus
Epicantus is a resource provided by Visual and UX designer and Lean Startup coach Daria N. All images are free to use without attribution. You can also request specific photos.
FoodiesFeed
If you run a food or recipes blog, then this could be a great resource for you. Photographer Jakob Kapusnak is the photographer behind all of the fabulous food photos. While attribution is not required, he does request it. The only restriction is against selling the photos as you own.
