Fortunately, there are stock images available that you can easily get for free or very cheap. However, finding high quality free stock photos is not an easy task. There are many free stock photo websites, but many of them offer low-resolution images.

Although there are many sites like Flickr, it is still one of the largest photo sharing sites. Most images are copyrighted and may not be used for commercial use or without crediting the original source. But there are still many contributors who upload images to the Creative Common license so that they can be used in some way. All you have to do is access Creative Common license photos on Flickr and use them as you wish. Although you will see some other similar license-based images there, including Attributes License, but make sure you only select CC0 (Creative Commons Zero) license photos.

Before using any stock photos from Flickr, make sure you read the copyright. There are many similar rights or some people may have restricted certain types of distribution. Flickr has a huge collection of stock photos for free that you can use anywhere. If you're willing to be a little careful, you'll be able to access thousands of images.
