•Flickr.com always has tons of images available. However, you must read the
individual terms of each photographer to figure out which you can use, and
which you can’t. Go for the “Creative Commons” licenses to sort them. If you
do use any image, link back.
•Bigfoto.com offers pictures from around the world, including America, Asia,
Europe, Africa, and Pacific. Each main category has subcategories, for
instance “aviation,” which allows you to choose from pictures in a certain
theme.
•Fotogenika.net Free if you plan to use for personal, educational, and
nonprofit use.
•FreeDigitalPhotos.net has more than 2000 free images you can use in both
commercial and noncommercial work. You cannot sell, redistribute, or claim
these images as your own. As with most of the sources on this list, just browse
by category or search for exactly what you need.
