Royalty-free stock photography
Photography is something I love, but I simply don’t have the time (or skill) to shoot photos for all my blog post imagery.
That’s where stock photography websites come in, and here are three useful stock sources for royalty-free images.
For a comprehensive list of stock photography websites, with a few logo design resources too, check out Blue Vertigo. Be warned, however, the choice far outweighs the time available.
A special thanks to Cat for this kind feature on Designers Who Blog.

Nice tip, didn’t know about these sites, usually just go to getty images and look for royalty free pictures. I’ll try these site next time i’m working on a design, probably this weekend :).
Love how the ice is sheeting. The simplest things are so astonishingly beautiful.
L.L., it is a beautiful shot. When I saw it on one of the royalty-free sites listed I thought, yeah, that’s the one I’ll use for this post. Cheers for checking in.

It’s too bad that you have no time for photography. By just looking at your sample photo here I can sense that you’re a real artist. Only true artist can take pictures of ordinary places from extraordinary angles thereby bringing something so beautiful to look at. I think all you have to do is to learn how to manage your time properly. Through that you’ll be able to have time for everything most especially for photography.
David – as ever I need something, I come to your site and I find the answer. Yes, gush, gush. As a new blogger and someone that’s spending lots of time setting up their own blog (I have three or four – I forget – to allow me to muck around and make mistakes) I come to your site to work stuff out. Today I needed to find out about stock photography. I always use stock.xchng but after a bunch of Googling decided to turn to a ‘man that knows.’ That’s you. Thank you once again for helping me along on my blogging journey and keeping up a great blog. Web Gal x

Congratulations on uncovering one of my older blog posts! It’s been a while since this was published. Did you find it through my Google custom search? I notice you also have this search feature on your blog, and I hope it’s working well for you.
All the best.
