Frugal Freelancing: Free Stock Photography!

Posted on April 30, 2009, 7:04 pm, by , under free stuff.

There are several free stock photo sites out there – but you can never have too many. I’m notoriously cheap (I pay for stuff when I have to,) and free photos really make me smile. While Shutterstock has more and better and is probably a little more organized and pleasant, free is free and free is good with me!

So a couple of my favorite freebies for Thursday: Stock.xchng and MorgueFile.

Not much to say. Free photos, some free clipart and some pretty nifty features. Both Stock.xchng and Morgue File are easily searchable, well organized and offers pretty good sized files. Morgue File seems to have slightly more “arty” stuff, so plan accordingly.

Being a freelancer has taught me to be frugal. My next post will be how to construct an external hard drive from bits of lawnmowers and underwear waistbands from the thrift store. Stay tuned!
