Where to get free pictures for websites

[marcelrobi]

Hey Guys, not exactly a Xara related question, I apologies in advanced if this is in the wrong section. I've been building websites for a while now, and where I struggle the most is when clients don't have good pictures. Stock pictures can be quite expensive to a client, I was wondering if there are any good places where there are royalty free pictures to use.

Thank you for your help.

There are quite a few stock photo resources that are not expensive. I used Big Stock Photo http://www.bigstockphoto.com/ for a stereogram book project and found their images high quality and affordable.

If your clients are too cheap for even these images, then use their own images and let them be embarrassed.

I have no idea what you are looking for but a while ago I bookmarked a listing of websites that offer free images:

Perhaps you find something useful.

Don't forget the free images and clip art in the Designs Gallery. There is some good stuff in there too. Especially in the later versions. See the bottom of this page for some examples http://xaraxone.magix.net/XWD9/index_4.htm
