Source Media

I decided to put together a reference post for when you’re looking for stock photos, clipart, audio, music, or video. I will update this post as I am made aware of new sources.

Photos

Getty Images seems to me to be the big player in stock images consuming some of the other providers such as Corbis, iStock, and FreeImages. Even in a few of the free services, you’ll see some iStock results that you can pay for if you want to.
