Is it true that you want to use only your OWN images on your website, so that Google won't push you down in ranking?

Thanks.

You can use images from elsewhere but they should be copyright free. So can't take them of other people's sites.

Ideally use your own to make your site unique - better for the visitor. Google won't penalise you for ripping off images from elsewhere ( https://www.plagiarismtoday.com/2013/07/29/google-we-dont-penalize-duplicate-images/ ) , it's just not a good thing to do.

Have a look at sites like: http://morguefile.com/ & https://pixabay.com/ for photos that anyone can use

Thank you so much, those sites are incredibly helpful. :)

No. There are so many free images available that if they are set up well for SEO, can be real assets for your website post or review pages.

Oh okay, I guess I've always heard you want to use your own images only. This is such a relief! I am not a photographer... ;)

No, but if you have a good smartphone, some of the images you use can be yours.
