Hi, I'm Viktor and I'm running this site where I share my own stock photos for free (yup, commercial use allowed) for more than 10 years.

No registrations, no SIgN uP FoR tHE NeWSlEtTer FIrSt, no credit cards. You just click and download. Full speed, full resolution.

The funny thing is that it's just a WordPress template that I've been tweaking from scratch for 10 years. Now I've done a redesign and I'd love to hear your advice, opinions or feedback.

The website has hundreds of thousands of monthly views, but I still think that more people should (or could) know about the website (mostly in USA, because a lot of traffic is from Asia).

It's a one-man-show, I do everything myself, from programming, photography, design, marketing, all technical stuff, so if you have any questions, I'm happy to answer them!

Nice photos. Where did you get the photos from?

I'm a photographer, so it's from me. And in last months I'm also using AI to generate some images I wouldn't be able to photograph.

They are too good! I was expecting that you had downloaded them from somewhere. (Sorry for the confussion.)

Is it possible to use a filter to see only the non-AI images? Some AI images are too similar to other AI images in other sites.

Navigatig the site, sometimes it's difficult to separate the links to more of your photos from the links of iStock photos. I guess you get money from afiliated links (that is fine for me), but it may confuse people.
