In many cases my clients don’t have the budget to hire a photographer to shoot their own website images so affordable stock imagery is a great fallback option when you need high resolution images for impact on your website.

Here are a few of my favorite free (and affordable) resources for stock images:

Death to Stock – This site has a paid subscription model but if you scroll down to the bottom of the homepage, there is a place to sign up for occasional free photo packs. I have accumulated several of these photo packs over the years and they have come in handy when I am looking for less “posed” photos.

Death to Stock photo – Slow Down pack

Eye for Ebony has some great affordable options if you are looking for beautiful stock images featuring people of color. Most of their themed packs are $15/each for 25 high quality images.
