Honoring Intellectual Property: Finding CCo Photos


Many images on the internet are copyrighted, but many images are not. The trick is finding photos that have a CCo (Creative Commons Zero) license, meaning the image is free to use, even for commercial purposes.


If you are putting a flyer or other promotional material together and need a photo you have several great options. PexelsPixabay, and Unsplash are great sites to look for images you can use freely. The quality of photos at each of these sites is incredible, as is the generosity of artists who are committed to sharing their work. 

If you are a photographer, consider giving back by uploading photos of your own you are willing to share. You never know who is looking for just the photo you have taken.
