Image Galleries

It’s hard to make an impression if your articles are all text. Images make it easier for readers to digest information and articles with images are more likely to be shared by readers.

Image galleries are a great place to find creative commons images. It is important that you do not use an image you are not supposed to; therefore you should always check the license for any image you use.

	Creative Commons Search A search tool that allows you to search media on thirteen different websites including Flickr, Wikimedia Commons, and Pixabay.
	Deviant Art A huge online art community. Many of the images can be downloaded for free under a creative commons license.
	Flickr An image hosting community that has billions of images hosted on its servers. Many members allow their photos to be used by others, as long as they are attributed as the creator.
	FreeFoto A massive gallery of photographs that are free to use on non-commercial websites.
	Google Images Arguably, the most widely used image resource by bloggers. Be very careful when selecting photos from there as many images have copyrights. Images that are coming up frequently does not necessarily mean they have no copyright. It is therefore safer to download images from a known image service.
	PhotoRogue The volunteer photographers of PhotoRogue seek out images you are searching for.
	ShutterCal A calendar-based photography project.
	Woophy A photo sharing community that contains over one million photos.
