Free image banks

Every designer needs to use great photographs to emphasize its design, if you are a begginer photographer and you are interested in making some extra money this can help, here you have a couple of photo banks, normally all of them have a free material section, for others you have to pay a very affordable price.

1. 123rf: this one offers 1€ photos (web), 2€ (printing) and 3€ in high resolution, but there is also a free photos section. Photos look very professional. The site is very nice and also easy to use. Very recommendable.
2. SXC: It’s completely free, you only need to register and start downloading high resolution photographs. The quality of the photos varies, there are some professional and others not so much. The site is very nice and also easy to use; you have tutorials and blogs to spend some time.
3. Dreamstime: similar to 123rf but i find it a bit harder to browse, it needs some order.
4. Microstockphoto: more of the same.
5. Fotolia: more…
6. Inmagine: more…
7. Textureking: this one is a texture photographs bank, if you are a 3D artist this site is great for you.
8. Texturewarehouse: another textures site.
9. Spacetelescope: a lot of space photos. You can download 100 photos in one compressed file. Curious and completely free.

Don’t forget to read the license of each photo, some are free for any use, others just for personal use, and other for commercial use… read them well, you don’t want any trouble

Here you have some more, i didn’t have time to look at these ones, if you test some you like, put it in the comments and i will watch it more thoroughly.
