I've gotten asked several times the past couple weeks where I'm sourcing images for Explainer and no one appreciates me saying "The Internet".
Here's how it works in an unordered list
- Google Image search
- Burst - Shopify's blog
- Unsplash - a beautiful photo newsletter
- Pexels - just a cool photo website
- Death to stock photos - another cool newsletter but this one us less frequent than unsplash and the curated photos are a tighter fit to a theme
- Flickr - you forgot this website existed, it's still out there and plenty of people share royalty free pics
- Giphy - all the gifs
If I was you and I wanted good free photos to use however you want, I'd sign up for the unsplash and D.T.S.P. newsletters.
That's IF I was you.
