There seems to be a trend away from stock photos recently. For a while websites got away with using fairly generic photos of professional looking people from major photo websites such as iStock<\/a> and Shutterstock<\/a>. They were relatively inexpensive, costing around twenty dollars an image and they saved you the embarrassment\u00a0of getting photos taken of yourself. Phew, I hate photos. The problem now is that these images are used so often that we recognise some of the models which in turn gives you the impression of ‘this site is fake’.<\/p>\n Whilst the perfect solution is to hire a professional to take a range of shots of your business, products or staff, it’s not always possible. Either your budget doesn’t allow for it, or you’re just not willing to get in front of the camera (you do need to get over it). So you really need to find images that are unique, high quality and perhaps on the cheaper side.<\/p>\n Enter the free stock photo website. These websites are essentially offering the same service as the big commercial\u00a0players, but provide images under a ‘creative commons license<\/a>‘. The photos are free to use commercially and can be modified or even on-sold in a product. Here we share our seven favourite free stock photo websites.<\/p>\nUnsplash<\/h3>\n
