Some are labled as free to use, but most you have to talk to the photographer or artist for permission

Just found this! http://allonsymituna.tumblr.com/pos.....un-fact-google

There are a bunch of royalty free and stock image websites around that aren't hard to find, plus as bunch of DA stock accounts, if that helps

royalty free images

Also BGs that are like, simple shapes cannot be copywritten.
So stuff like checker/stripe/polka dot backgrounds and whatnot are free game.

The best bet is to go for royalty free photos!

https://www.pexels.com/ is my favorite go to place for free stock photos when I have the need :>

Always make sure royalty free ones can be used to make money. Often they can't be.

Yeah, I would avoid taking random photos without asking permission or confirming they're free to use. It kind of bothers me when someone sites "google" as the source for an image. Some great places to get royalty free creative commons photos that you can use for pretty much anything are http://www.pixabay.com and http://www.morguefile.com

a 3rd more difficult and possibly expensive, but rewarding option is to take your own photos. Although this isn't always an option depending on what you need.
