I need to get some stock photos for my wife's new website (personal trainer).

Anybody have any experience of this? Is there one place thats the go-to place?

Funnily I just sent a client to Adobe Stock - if you sign up for an Adobe Account you get 10 free downloads in the first month. You can then cancel if you're a cheapskate 🙂

There's some nice stuff on unsplash too.

+1 for Shutterstock - not overpriced either.

If you are lucky these may have a suitable image - and they are free...
www.pexels.com

The best one is iStockPhoto.com - but prices can be rather high...

FreePik are good too but not the range of Shutterstock and iStockPhoto...

thanks for the replies, I'll have a peek and if not I'll ask her to change the business and use the pics given in the thread.

iStock is probably the best, I think it has been amalgamated with Getty too.

Shutterstock is ok, bit cheaper though a lot of low quality stuff.

Unsplash is also quite good resource for free photography, I use it to mock up client sites prior to getting photography from them or if I need some images to hack to bits.
