stock photos

[steven]

Could someone point me in the direction of free, royalty-free stock photography? I've tried several sites, but they all end up having a catch or something like that. Any help would be great.

Private or commercial?

here's a good private one:

Commercial is more difficult. do you want anything in particular?

[steven]

Its more on the commercial side. I'm just looking for images I can implement into website designs. I'm not really looking for anything specific.

hmm that's more difficult; I've tried a google search and found the following:

http://freestockphotos.com/

http://www.freeimages.co.uk/

and a sort of index of lots of different ones (some useful, some not)

personally I take my own photos. It's really easy to get good results with digital.
