Quick edit of what you can do with beautiful stock.
Sometimes it’s hard finding stock photos that appeal to you and that you want to use. Visuals tell a story and oftentimes, it’s quite necessary to have them alongside some text. Plain text, especially for the general audience, is massively unappealing. Think of photography as textures and accents for your writing. Just like soft food on soft food paired with even more soft food leaves it flat, writing on writing with a side of text isn’t all that interesting. I use photos to draw people in and usually, the same like-minded individuals who enjoy the photos I’ve paired with my thoughts, also like my writing.
I follow a couple of blogs related to design, just because I dabble in visual manipulation in my free time and I like to keep at least relatively up-to-date with the latest trends and tools. Somehow I ended up at this gorgeous website Death to the Stock Photo, which has a large selection of gorgeous photos. I’ve always had trouble searching other archives for quality photographs that were aesthetically pleasing to me and wouldn’t compromise the style and feel of my website. Not anymore! I joined up just to take a peek at what they had to offer and now, I’m in love. I just received my second zip file of bundled photographs yesterday and I’m loving it. I keep them zipped up after I browse through and store them on the cloud so I can access them whenever I need them. They’re free to use pretty much anywhere. Make sure you join here to receive your monthly photos and for $10/month you can get access to even more goodies. Check out the website, because it’s the cleanest and most beautiful stock site I’ve seen to date. Follow them on twitter here. For your review, I’ve also included a couple of photos from the latest pack. Interested?
