15 Best Free Stock Photo Websites

Fuente: http://despreneur.com/15-best-free-stock-photo-websites/

Recently I have seen more and more beautiful photos used on websites, themes, design mockups and shots on Dribbble. I don’t know who has started this out but I highly appreciate Unsplash initiative for providing beautiful free stock photos to do whatever you want. I have been inspired by this movement and started sharing some of my best mobile photos on Refe as well.

As a designer personally, I can’t stand ugly cliché stock photos, amateur level pictures and other low quality imagery used in any form of design. I am constantly in search of beautiful photos for my personal and client work and thought that you may find this collection useful.

Note: make sure to check the licenses of pictures you intend to use. Give a shout-out to authors, optional but they love it.
