These stock image and video sites are far from generic. Here’s my curated list of the best curated sites. Most are 100 percent free for personal and commercial use, but you should read the fine print each and every time to see if an artist asks for attribution, a link back or (gasp!) money.
Here is a gallery of some great specialty sites. I chose pictures that appealed to me and represented the quality of the images from that site.
