8) Where do You Turn for Great Stock Art Photos?

fall-foliage-ii-26415251 Maybe you work in a land in which it’s not safe to snap pictures of new believers. Or maybe it just feels awkward to do so. But still… it can’t be wrong to ask people to pray for the people you care about so deeply. So you’d like to picture them somehow, sometimes. Maybe you’re afraid that if you DO show pictures of them in mobilization materials, it will somehow get back to them that you did. Yikes. So what do you do? Try using stock photos. You can snag them at sites like these:

http://www.dreamstime.com (most are for sale — but for a flat fee)

http://gettyimages.com (many are free to embed, pay to print)

http://www.123rf.com/ (5 files per day, every day, for 30 days, $89)

But maybe you know of other sites that are more affordable or just better. If you do, you know the routine. Please click “comment” and share the wealth.

Flickr is a great place to get public domain images. Do a keyword search and then limit the results by selecting “Creative Commons only” in the License drop-down menu. Creative Commons images are free for non-profit use. If you want to use images for commercial purposes, you can limit the search further by selecting “Commercial use allowed” in the License drop-down menu.

http://www.freeimages.com/ (previously sxc.hu) has a really good selection and they’re all free. They are owned by istock who have an even huger range that are all for sale, when you search freeimages.com it’ll give suggestions from istock too which I actually find helpful as freeimages might not always have exactly the ‘right’ photo.
istockphoto.com (istock) also has image sizes all the way up to super high resolution that you could put on any media up to billboard size!

Through http://www.appsumo.com/depositphotos-2014/ I discovered http://depositphotos.com/ which can be OK depending on what you’re looking for – and as the appsumo link I shared showed, sometimes they’ve got good prices on bulk purchases of photos which makes for great value.
