[Editor’s Note: Cyclo.ps is dead. // July 2011]
Sometimes what makes a website (and especially a blog) can simply be the images that are used to create culture, presence, and impact. Pictures simply say what copy cannot.
For a lot of ministries and businesses interested in using stock photography I oftentimes recommend Cylo.ps as a possible place to start. It does what it says it does.
What other great stock photo sites do you use consistently?
joanna says
I've yet to be able to find one i've really liked so i'll check out cyclo.ps. Thanks π
@phillipgibb says
hmm, I make major use of Flickr because of the options for Creative Commons. Not into buying the photos as yet – as good as they are, I have a long way b4 the ROI of that will be useful.
otherwise "other great stock photo site" I use consistently is my iPhoto collection :p
@Jmerriam says
123rf.com has a decent selection and of course the old standards istockphoto.com. I'll have to give Cyclo.ps a whirl.
Misha says
Have any of you heard of creativemyk.com? Lots of free Christian stock images shared by Christian artists. We also use Istock but they're prices got a little higher for photos.

Didn't know of that one Misha. Cool site. Thanks for sharing
Brian Alexander says
I use it every once in a while.

This is great. Another site i'll throw out there is http://www.morguefile.com/ It's pretty good when it comes to searching. You can narrow the search down by sugject matter, and size.

I like Morguefile (if not for the name)
cyclops looks good too!
John Gibbs says
Blue Vertigo (http://www.bluevertigo.com.ar/bluevertigo.htm) lists more than 80 different sources of free stock photos. Every Stock Photo (http://www.everystockphoto.com/) is a great search engine for free photos.
Jerry says
John, that site pretty much sucks. The search doesn't even work correctly. I think Everystockphoto.com pretty much nailed it for the type of site it is. Morgue and CreativeMYK are pretty sweet resources.

π sad.
it worked well for me.
Graham Brenna says
I search Flickr for many of the images I use to help make my point on my personal blog posts. Mainly due to the Creative Commons licensing options they use.
I use iStockphoto.com at my church for our major communications department stuff.
Thanks for pimpin Cylo.ps too! Looks good
