If you’re a website designer or ThemeForest WordPress theme developer you’ve most likely had to go on a hunt for high quality stock images. If you’re creating a website for your client they most likely don’t have 100% of the photos you’ll need and if you’re creating a theme demo you need professional quality images to make your theme demo shine. Until a couple years ago hunting down these images was no easy task. There were a few websites where these images could be purchased but then you would keep seeing the same stock images on different theme demos and client’s websites. Luckily within the last couple of years website started popping up offering free high quality license free images for your personal or commercial use. Check out this master list of 53 awesome places to get license free (check the site to be sure this is true of course) images for your use:
