b2b marketing communications: stock images

four stock image websites that aren't unsplash

To supplement your use of Canva and Unsplash, here are four stock image websites that I use for my clients and me.

And when you do find the perfect shot, how do you know you are allowed to use it? Most people don't check the rights of use for images they find on the Internet. Even when you pay for the image, your usage rights may be limited. (That's a whole other topic.)

The four sites I'm sharing provide free images with easy-to-understand permission, so you can be more confident about their usage.

​

Stock Up

"Stock Up works by aggregating dozens of free stock photo websites. It only includes stock photo websites that explicitly give permission— in return, Stock Up links back to their website.

The site boasts 20,000+ free stock photos!"

Morguefile

"Morguefile is a free photo archive “for creatives, by creatives.” Founded by Michael Connors in the early Internet days of 1996, the site was created to serve as a free image exchange for creative professionals and teachers to use in their work.

This same mission remains true today: we are a community-based free photo site, and all photos found in the Morguefile archive are free for you to download and re-use in your work, be it commercial or not. The photos have been contributed by a wide range of creatives from around the world, ranging from amateur photo hobbyists to professionals."

Age Without Limits

Age-positive image library

"We've created the first free library showing positive and realistic images of over 50s.

The photos show a more realistic depiction of ageing – to help challenge stereotypes of older people. The library, which contains over 3,000 images and is regularly updated, is available for anyone to use for free."

Danielle Wintrip CM B2B & Professional Services Marketing Authentic AI for Marketing Course Hi [First Name], Working with ChatGPT can feel like talking to a teenager. Sometimes effusive, sometimes emo, and often not living up to its side of the conversation. Generative AI tools like ChatGPT can be brilliant, but only when we know how to ask for what we want. So, I created SEEQR©—a simple framework to help you think more clearly with AI, not just at it. SEEQR© isn’t another prompt formula,...

Hello Reader, I've always wanted to offer a high-impact and affordable marketing program or service to people who work for themselves —and now I have. Introducing The Authentic AI for Marketing Course! From generic AI to authentic AI. Most AI-generated content is bland, forgettable, and easy to spot. It has telltale signs—headlines in social posts (what?), excessive emoji use, poorly worded phrases, and a robotic style. You're losing trust and authority if your content sounds like AI wrote...
