I don’t know about you but finding awesome photos for the posts on She Owns It can be exhausting! I’m well aware of the possible pitfalls (legal + $$) when you “acquire” images online via Google search, Instagram, etc. DON’T DO IT!
But, what if you don’t have an iStock budget?
Below we’ve compiled a list of our “go to” sites for awesome images. It’s an ongoing list so be sure to bookmark!
- Compfight (make sure you’re searching Creative Commons / requires attribution)
- Death to the Stock Photo
- Foodiesfeed
- Gratisography
- IM Free (requires attribution)
- ISO Republic
- Jay Mantri
- Life of Pix
- Little Visuals
- Lock and Stock Photos
- Magdeleine
- New Old Stock
- Picjumbo
- Picography
- Public Domain Archive
- Raumrot
- Snapwire
- Splitshire
- Startup Stock Photos
- Superfamous (requires attribution)
- The Pattern Library
- Unsplash
