Where can I get images for my website?

Question

I'm starting a blogging website (over piczo) and I need some images to go with my post (I'm gonna blog about anything, celebrities, politics, world news, etc.). i want to use images without getting a lawsuit or anything like that.

I've seen some picture on Wikimedia Commons....will that work?

Answer 1

ask for permission before you use other people's graphics.

http://www.flickr.com

http://images.yahoo.com

http://images.google.com

Answer 2

Google unless you want to be unique like everyone else.

Answer 3

Google images are pretty good. Just give credit to the hyperlink from where you got the image(s). Hope this helps.

Answer 4

If you want to be safe legally, and ethical, I'd suggest buying stock images from a site like istockphoto.com.  They're usually under $5 and are high-quality images.  

Using Google images, as others have suggested, will certainly find you images, but if you don't ask the permission of the people who created them, you are violating their copyright and may open yourself up to legal action.

Answer 5

When I was looking for good quality free images and web templates, I found a lot of c**p but I also discovered some real gems... The 'best of the best' are at the source link below.

Take a look, you'll find some really cool royalty free photos, templates and themes for all types of sites such as html, css, flash, wordpress, joomla and more.

You may see something that catches your eye.

Answer 6

If you need something special, u can buy photos from pages like http://istockphoto.com/index.php

or You can use photos with the permission from other web sites: deviantart.com flickr.com and etc.
