Gratisography

Gratisography, a collection of photographs by brilliant photographer and graphic designer Ryan McGuire, is ideal if you're searching for something a little different. Ryan's images have a strange quality to them, and they're great if you're tired of the same old stock photo clichés; no women smiling alone with salad here.

Gratisography may not have as much content as some other free stock photo sites, but Ryan's artistic vision more than makes up for it, and he updates the site weekly. You may get updates by subscribing to his email or following him on Twitter.

When you utilize McGuire's work, you don't have to credit him, although he likes it if you do.
