Once you get to the site it&#8217;s an easy sign up and easy search. Just type in a key word and go. You can find anything. These are royalty free images and you can use them freely, as long as you don&#8217;t claim to be selling something in the image. I use them all the time for my outside clients and for flyers that I do for Socially It. This is a must know for any designer out there &#8230;<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>STOP STEALING <a href=\"http:\/\/images.google.com\/imghp?hl=en&amp;tab=wi\" target=\"_blank\">GOOGLE IMAGES!<\/a> You probable don&#8217;t have the rights to use them and you might get in trouble. I doubt it, but there is a slim chance some buster will report you. If you want to buy the stockxpert photos they are just a $1 a download. That&#8217;s sooo much better than those others sites. You might want to know how the heck can they do this. Well regular photographers sign up for the site too and they upload their images and sign their images away then bye bye images &#8230; and now you can use them for FREE.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/sociallyit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/12\/stcok_xchng.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1534\" title=\"stcok_xchng\" src=\"http:\/\/sociallyit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/12\/stcok_xchng.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"318\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sociallyit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/12\/stcok_xchng.jpg 400w, https:\/\/sociallyit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/12\/stcok_xchng-300x238.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I will share a quick story with you from a few years ago. I was working as art director for a publisher and I received a call from my step mom who is a over 40 model. Well she asked me what stock images were. She said that her photographer had her sign a wavier for this. I said OMG! You just signed your images away! You have no rights to them any more. That is what mr smarty man photographer did to her. He sold her images to Stock Photo and I am sure for a good chunk of change. They put several of her images on the over 40 model CD that they sell for like $100. Months went by and I get the new catalog to look through, and right there are her pictures and available for use by anyone who buys the CD. She then found herself in a few ads that she would never ever model for. A male enhancement ad? WTF? And another vitamin ad. So let this be a lesson to all models! DON&#8217;T sign that waiver. &#8211; Lainie<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>http:\/\/www.sxc.hu I am not sure which one of my lovely nerdling friends referred me to this site years ago &#8230; maybe DJ Dash, or maybe my Ninja Brandon, but who ever did &#8230; well I&#8217;ve been using this site as a part of my designing ever since.
