Anyone recommend stock photo website?

[bluerock]

Im after downloading up to about 50 images a month to use on websites and wonder if anyone can recommend a site with decent choice and is priced reasonably.

I'd rather pay for unlimited than per image as well.

Not sure how many of these are still live, but I did post a handful of useful resources a while back:

Also, I remember using this resource before:
https://search.creativecommons.org/

Allows you to filter by:

• Source/Platform
• Asset medium,
• CC license, asset usage, and whether you can modify, adapt or build upon

Thanks, really appreciated. I'll take a look.

I use the "Daily Subscription" on Fotolia - probably way more than you're going to use but it's pretty much unlimited

Probably not going to meet your needs, but https://unsplash.com/ is worth a mention. I get an email from them once a week with the best new photos and some of them are sublime. All royalty and attribution free.

Prefer Shutterstock

I use pixabay.com where pretty much all images are free for commercial use and no attribution required.

Thanks guys, appreciate the replies.

Istockphoto, fotolia and shutterstock are all good and I use them all. Just see which one has the best subscription prices for your intended use and see which has the best photos for the type of photos you require. I tend to find shutterstock and fotolia have the most photos for my niche, but I think fotolia worked out cheaper for me.

Pexels.com is quite good.

I use iStock, and I have some listed for sale there, ShutterStock is good too.

I have had good success when buying images going via Flickr and other similar sites, offer the photographer a token payment often gets you usage rights. Very basic contract but often very cheap.

With paychecks I use Fotolia.com (stock.adobe.com). But there are also many sites that offer free quality pictures:
unsplash.com
stocksnap.io
burst.shopify.com
pexels.com
lifeofpix.com
picjumbo.com

I clicked on this thread title just to recommend pixabay!

When I had a linkedin profile I had the founders as connections as I gave them some advice when they attempted to enter the 'revenue sharing' / 'content farm' niche with a website called Wizzley.com (I knew a lot about that area and brought them some users)... due to the climate (Panda then penguin) that site was a complete flop, but they were also building pixabay at the same time, and to say that has been a 'success' is a complete understatement. They are good guys and I'm happy for them, almost Alexa top 500 I think.

There is also pexels.com which is their rival and also a big site.

These sites offer: "Free for commercial use. No attribution required", which will be a welcome change in terminology to all those paid stock photo sites who must get royally fed up with people who perceive "royalty free" to mean "steal this image for free".
