As I’m getting visitors from Google directly to some images hosted on my website, I think I should specify that all my images are copyrighted and cannot be used without my written permission. Sure, this should come as default whenever you’re visiting a photographer’s website.
And I’m writing this because it seems that most of the visitors who arrive here from search engines don’t really read anything else, so I’m guessing they’re in the hunt for free images.
While I don’t host free images on this website, there are plenty places where you can find such photos, so you wouldn’t have to infringe anyone’s copyright. Here’s a list of websites hosting free images, in alphabetical order:
1. Dreamstime
3. Freepixels
4. Freestocks
6. Pexels
7. Picjumbo
8. Pixabay
10. Stockima
11. Wikimediacommons
All these websites have millions of free images hosted, most of them categorized and searchable, donated by photographers. However, be sure to read the license offered by each website, to see the terms, as not all usages are permitted when using free photos.
Enjoy!
