Where can I find high quality images?

One of the most important parts of having a website are the visuals. You most definitely want high quality, good photos on your website. And thankfully, if you’re a service provider, you have two options here!

Branding Shoots

Your first option is going to be finding a photographer who offers branding shoots. A good photographer is going to collaborate with you to create images that really capture your brand and who you are. You’ll come up with a color palette together which is what is going to bring the photos together. This color palette should be reflected in your clothes and in the space the photographer will be capturing you in. This helps a web designer tremendously when creating your mood board because you’ve already established the colors you’d like to see on your website. You should leave with a good variety of headshots, full body shots, detail shots, and working shots to really pull a website together. I would also recommend finding someone who can add in some short form videos to add to your website too.

Stock Images

Stock images are a great way to get a website started without having to spend a ton of money. My top two favorite websites are Pexels and Unsplash. Finding a good variety of images that fall into the color palette you’ve decided on should be relatively easy with both websites. Pexels also offers video, which can elevate a website to really stand out. You want to make sure you have a good variety of images to diversify your website.

Whichever route you decide to go, making sure they’re high quality and cohesive is the most important part of designing your website. You want to make the user experience easy, and not confusing them with a disarray of colors and concepts is the perfect way to start.
