8 awesome resources
for free stock

Hey guys. We've collected 8 awesome resources for free stock images that you can use to upload photos to your site and to post it on a blog or on Instagram.

There you can find professional high-quality photos on a variety of topics from body care products to three skeletons at the piano (1893). And most importantly, no cliches and no templates! All these websites have so beautiful and user-friendly design, that you would love to stay there longer.

Unsplash serves up 10 new photos every 10 days. This service is full of unique and aesthetic materials on the common topics, that you can collect in your profile. The trick is, you can learn from professional photographers studying detailed information on a focal length, on an aperture, etc. If you want you can post your works, but they will be revised by an editor. Also, Unsplash has a blog and an online store with branded things. You can freely copy, modify, distribute and use all of the photos without permissions or attribution. Don't forget to "say thanks" to photographers attaching a link to their profiles.

New Old Stock has a nice collection of old photos from public archives. It is really a website that recreates history. Only here you can find the three skeletons at the piano (1893). The resource is connected to Flickr, where there is an information or a story about every photo. You can use photos for commercial and non-commercial purposes, but it's better to read up on the rights for any type of a commercial project. As elsewhere, giving a credit to the author is welcomed.

In addition to excellent photos, you can find on this website a blog with useful articles about improving your business and an amazing plug-in that creates color palettes for any selected photo! As soon as you choose a photo for your site or social networks, you will get a harmonious color palette, that you can use in future publications. Kaboompics also has an advanced search for the orientation, collection or color. And one more pleasant surprise! You can download a photo, specifying the resolution you need.

It is a service with high-quality, modern photos on common topics. No more "doll faces" or "plastic fruits" on a white background. The site is new, that's why there are not so many photos yet. You can use all of them for commercial and non-commercial purposes.
