Are you tired of Unsplash? I hear you. I’m getting tired of them as well.
Not because their photography isn’t spectacular—because it totally is. But more because it’s being overused and abused.
So here’s a not spectacular list of more places you can get photos from. You may already know these Unsplash alternatives, but I’m hoping I surprise you with some you haven’t heard of!

Pixabay
Pixabay is similar in that it also indexes some sites. But who those sites are, it’s not so certain. I know that Unsplash in on there, but again, UNSPLASH IS EVERYWHERE!
Freely
Freely is new on the scene with free Christian stock photography. If you’re a photographer, I bet they would love for you to submit some photos!
The Hungry JPEG
Hungry JPEG is a pretty cool design resource I came across. They have a couple of great photos and photo packs you can use like the one below.
Conclusion
There are a lot more places to find photos then Unsplash on the internet, you just have to know where to look! Although, if you do want to use just Unsplash pictures, I do highly recommend this search tool I found recently.
What are your favorite places to find photos for free?

Looks like I should click through some of these—great list!

My issue with Unsplash is not that everyone is using them. My issue is that you can’t search the site and have to scroll through it in hopes of finding something. Plus, they’re highly focused on nature and sightseeing stuff and less on ‘concepts’ and people, which is what I’m mostly looking for.

You might want to check it out again. They rolled out a search function a few months ago. It’s much better than it used to be.
Eric Dye says
Really! I gotta check this out! 😀
Eric Dye says
If you REALLY want to use Unsplash, I think you have to visit it every day or once a week and download what you like in your own file system—so you can find what you’re looking for when you need it. I’ve never done this myself, but I’ve thought about it.

Hi Team,
increasingly I head over to http://allthefreestock.com/ as this lets me browse lots of Creative Commons Zero sites quickly and efficiently 🙂
Eric Dye says
BOOM! Awesome.

I like Unsplash. I would love it if it weren’t quite so pretty . And more importantly, so white.
