When you're dealing with graphic and web design, the basic resource will represent your photos. But where to find them?

Given that we are not all born photographers and that we do not have time to flicker around the world, taking pictures of scenes that make us useful for new projects, so there was a need for stock photos. There are countless websites selling such photos on the Internet (such as the Shutterstock site), but there are also lesser-known sites offering the option of free download.

Here are just some of them, and if you have your personal resources you use - feel free to share them with us in the comments below the text.
