Thanks for this resource. I found it very helpful! However, I would like to remind people to avoid using cliche stock photos on websites. Be more creative, make your own graphic.

No more business handshakes or water drops with rippples.

Flickr is more or less good for ALL photos, and definitely stock photos. That being said, I try and not focus TOO heavily on the pictures… as it CAN take away from the actual content at hand in my opinion.

I have always used SXC & been a contributor for 4 years now (almost at the 100,000 download point). I think it is a great site that surprisingly more designers don’t know about!

Thank you for all the others listed, I will try to use them!

Interesting comments on this article. My thoughts lie somewhere in between. Design has been commoditized and photography devalued. It will take some time before many see/feel the effects.

What you lose in using these sites (and I do use these sites and istock with some frequency myself) is the individuality of your business. I created a presentation once for an organization that focuses on diversity and used an istock photo of a family. That same family appeared on a poster soliciting museum memberships when I was touring the Tower of London. If you base your company identity or logo off an image that is widely circulated, it will become evident.

I think there is a place for some of these images, but I will always invest in professional talent when the client’s budget allows for it.
