The photos on Picography are gorgeous and have a wide range of topics, including coffee, landscapes, nature, black and white photography, among others. Morita’s aim was to create a site with creative commons photos that were high-quality and beautiful. And he definitely succeeded!

Canva is my personal favorite stock photo website. They have a wide range of stock photos to choose from and you can even upload your own photos.
