Have you written a great article? Have you come up with a great slogan or built a new website for your business? Now it's time to find the photos that best capture what you wanted to…
Photos play a significant, and sometimes the biggest role in capturing the attention and interest of your audience. Don't worry if you don't know anything about photography, because stock photo banks will help you.
Below you will find six of the best stock photos. Three of them contain paid photos, which are both associated with high quality and exclusivity. The next three are free. You will find reusable photos and a smaller selection, but maybe they will suit your needs.
Top Paid Stock Photos
Adobe Stock
Adobe, the creators of programs such as Photoshop and InDesign, need no introduction. On their website you will find over 50 million photos, videos, illustrations, vector graphics, 3D graphics and many more. Adobe Stock is also part of their Creative Cloud, a subscription service that provides monthly access to many of the company's capabilities, including its most well-known programs. If you're interested in using Adobe's services more broadly, their photo bank may be your best choice.
Getty Images & iStock by Getty Images
https://www.gettyimages.com/
Getty Images has been used to find photos since 1995, making them one of the oldest and most extensive image banks in the world. Their younger brother, iStock, often offers cheaper options, but without exclusivity (in most cases, photos on Getty Images are purchased exclusively). However, both sites provide very high quality work.
Shutterstock
Shutterstock is known as a great source of very high quality photos that are perfect for large format printing. They also have a huge database photos, where you will find over 260 million photos, which makes shutterstock one of the most popular collections in the world.
Best free stock photos:
Unsplash
Unsplash is one of the most well-known sources, offering over 550 thousand free works for both personal and commercial use. The license for photos from Unsplash has no restrictions or requirements, although attribution is appreciated.
Pexels
Similar to Unsplash, Pexels offers photos with no usage restrictions. The latter have a very good search engine, allowing you to search for photos based on their dominant colors, for example.
PixaBay
PixaBay is one of the largest stock photo aggregators in the free segment. They offer over 1.5 million files, available for commercial and personal use. The service is based on user ratings and does not always offer the highest quality work - but among such a large database, you will definitely find something for yourself.
Summary
We hope that this list will be helpful in finding the perfect photo that will enhance your communication. Of course, there are many more photo banks than the above six and you can find a gem in each one. Here I show the best ones, offering the largest selection and the highest quality :)
