Photos, Pixels & Platforms: 4 stock image sites that provide high-quality and affordable assets

With a quick Google search, it should be easy to find the right asset to use for your latest presentation, mockup or project, right? We wish it could be that simple. An abundance of choices online can often be overwhelming – with unregulated sites contributing to the challenge of finding stock photos that are consistent in quality. On the other hand, many ‘big name’ websites charge high licensing fees and are simply not affordable for most. Aiming to find some efficient alternatives, we compiled a selection of stock image sites that not only offer curated collections of beautiful images – but are free or affordable to use. “Cheesy and overused stock photos have invaded our internet. Now we’re taking it back.” Death to Stock is a no-nonsense reinvention of the online stock photo space, with a remarkably consistent standard of beautiful imagery on offer. For creatives looking for assets that stand out, the site offers flexible and tailor-made membership options. Packages start at $12/month for small businesses and start-ups, $33 for freelancers and agencies, with price-on-demand packages available for larger organisations. The site funds a global network of artists, ensuring a fair and high-quality standard of work is available. With new content added every 30 days, paired with unlimited downloads, DTS is tailor-made with creatives of all kinds at its core. Death to Stock
