Royalty-Free stock images is not free.
The pricing varies in accordance to the usage of the image/s in
Publication. For example, the size of the image used and the
Publication circulation. It's a cheaper alternative to
Rights-managed images, however you may find the image u used
appeared in other Publication, newletters or brochures due to the
less stringent T&C.
Rights-managed images are good but more expensive to purchase. The
upside is that, u wun find another Brochure/mags/etc using that
image for a certain amount of time. U buy that rights, so to
speak.
Free ones are out there but usually they are not very High is
resolution. If you required a image that is relatively small in
size in ya work, they will do jus fine. It is also a good practice
to credit the photographer for using the image.
