Tips on image sourcing

I get asked a lot ‘can’t you just grab that image from Google’ no I can’t!

Why because I don’t own rights to use that image and nor do you. There are so many more image sites out there now that offer amazing images for free or for a small fee. 

See below a list of free images sites and ones where you will need to pay.

The power of getting your image styling right, speaks volumes about your brand. If you choose to source a set of images via a free site or paid images, make sure they all have the same tonal qualities and look like they work as a set. Ultimately they work with your brand aesthetics. 

Alternatively you could invest in a brand shoot, this doesn’t just need to cover images of you but elements that relate to your business. This is a great way to get your own images for your website, social media and any other marketing material you may have produced.
