Where to get free images for my portfolio

HI,

I was wondering, are there any sites that provide me with beautiful free images that i can put in my portfolio and combine them with my design?

Im looking for like FREE images , not like google where pictures are copyrighted in a way i guess.

You can start by googling free stock photos or royalty-free images. Definitely look over the copyright terms on those sites. Some of those sites ask users to give credit or attribute the image to the stock photo/royalty-free image site.

One way you can do that through a disclaimer on the footer on the HTML, and use a copyright symbol (which is an entity on HTML).

Treehouse offers a small collection of photos as a "student perk". You can download them from here: http://www.mediafire.com/download/t727ovk30r6a6l3/Beach_Getaway.zip Hope I helped.

Is something like Unsplash what you're looking for?

Edit: Oh, never mind. I just realized it's already in one of those lists of sites.
