Where can I find royalty-free photos to publish in my work's brochures?
Can you answer Jennifer V's question about brochures?:
I'm looking for photos of children playing on playgrounds or in outdoor environments in general, but we are using the photos for publication and don't want to get into any copyright trouble. I'm wondering how any businesses get photos they use for their publications and where I can find something similar instead of hiring a photographer PLEASE HELP!

Google "stock photos." Generally stock pictures can be used for brochures, but you may need to credit them in the fine print on the back of the brochure. I'm fairly certain that clipart is also royalty-free, but you'll have to double-check, just to be safe.
is great. lots to pick from (and hi-res as well). All free, many just want to know what you are doing with it.
I use the following stock photo sites:
clipart.com (this one requires a subscription)
dreamstime.com (you can purchase each photo individually and they are usually around $1-2)
istockphoto.com (probably one of the best when it comes to choices and you can purchase a min. amount of credits for like $10 to use in the future)
You could also just try googling images or searching on photobucket.com but no guarantee that the photo will be high enough resolution or good enough, but worth a try since they are free. Also, it is a safer way to go buy purchasing photos off of stock photo sites to be sure you aren't infringing on any copyrights.
With a simple search on Dreamstime I found lots of photos that could work for you. And I believe most of them are just $1: =&x=0&y=0
Good luck!
