Tired of going down the deep underground dungeon of the sites that promise good, free stock photos?
Everybody has searched for that elusive stock photo, especially for opensource projects. After all, hours of work is being provided for the betterment of the whole development community, why not stock photos?
The problem with free stock photos is that they are either low-res amateur photos, cheesy photos of people wearing headsets, or bait-and-switchtype operators where they either spam you with incessant emails, or you don't truly get value.
Nevertheless below is an ongoing list of the best stock photo sites that we, at synapticloop, have actually used. The photos on these github pages are sourced from them.
