Good post indeed, very helpful for designers. The only problem is that sites like these are removing the livelihood of professional photographers. I believe there should be a minimal fee, a few dollars, so that photographers can make some money at least.

Thanks,

A very useful list for instructors and for students.

Great list! I knew of stock.echng but will have to check the rest of them out. However, you missed one site I use fairly regularly: http://morguefile.com/
http://martial.jessecrouch.com Jesse Crouch

With my blog I also commonly use:
Flickr’s advanced search http://www.flickr.com/search/advanced/ and check “Only search within Creative Commons-licensed content” and for safety “Find content to use commercially”

Thnx for nice collection. i use regularly some of them. And found some new also. But i wpoould add http://www.photl.com as a free stock photo collection. It had large collection of images with high resolution. They have the option of downloading parts of images.

I almost got in trouble recently with graphics I had on my website. I understood that they were free to use. Unfortunately, I learnt otherwise
http://hotelinkillarney.com hotels in killarney

Super ! I can never get enough images that are free to use. My clients are always looking for impressive ones
adcritik

add these to your list! http://www.freestockfor.us and http://www.allourstock.com are 100% free!

Vey nice. I loved the way you presented information.

Maybe also a short review for each site would have made the post
more complete and useful, but this is still a great work.

Let me also suggest you another great list of
resources on free images.
