I have searched all over the web for images to use in my blog and unfortunately can't find any to use for free. I have a blog about heat transfer vinyl and adhesive vinyl and a
For highly specialist niches, like adhesive vinyl, you'll probably need to go to one of the major stock libraries.
Have a look at Deposit Photos http://www.depositphotos.com who offer a huge range of images for a $1-a-pop.
Dreamstime http://www.dreamstime.com have an excellent range as do Adobe http://www.stock.adobe.com albeit both of these are more expensive.
All offer substantial indemnity against copyright infringement.
You should also check out the manufacturers websites, look for a press or media link. You'll often find whole sections or even entire subdomains of content you are allowed to use. If not, just email the press or media office and request what you need, most will happily send you photos by return.
Yes, I have tried all of the above but they are too expensive. I'll need to research how to create graphics so I can use my own images on my website. Thank you for taking the time to answer my question!

It's worth being aware that Pixabay do not guarantee that their images are copyright free and in their T&Cs; you agree to cover their costs as well as your own if an image you get from them breaches another person's copyright.
"You also agree to indemnify and hold harmless Pixabay from and against any and all claims brought by third parties arising out of your use of the Website."
See Triblu's comment here: Is it advisable to use google images? Also, what is really irritating about Pixabay is that they constantly get takedown notices and even DMCAs filed against them for distributing copyright images to which they had no rights to do so, but then they don't inform their users who've already downloaded those pictures that they're breaching someone's copyright.

I always recommend that members read the T&Cs; of every service they sign up to, ie. see the last three paragraphs here: https://pixabay.com/en/service/terms/
Rich, I appreciate you sharing this awareness. This is very good to know. Especially, about services that claim that their photos are free. I will be on the look for these programs, reading more closely the find lines.

No probs. but please only post a question once, otherwise members waste time answering it in multiple different places. Thanks!
Wonderful information to know. There is something to learn as we travel this journey to success.
Thank You!

I looked up pixabay - but there are no free ones. Deposit photos have 448 pictures for adhesive vinyl, but whether any of them are suitable I do not know and they would cost you. You can have a look for free.
