Stock photography sites are about being able to search with any keyword and come up with a photo that you can instantly use. The value is in convenience, not the photos themselves

#42Well this is great if you are looking for apple products displayed in a cafe environment with that natural wood feel. If not, I guess I'm out of luck.
Thanks for the comment! Will add more (and different photos in the future). This was just the first batch.

#43Awesome, really excited about this. Just a thought: You should have a "tip jar" so people can show their appreciation where it counts.
Good idea. Thanks for the "tip."

#44Absolutely, definitely not, hipsters!
Funny you mention. Our first idea for the domain was hipsterphotos.com

#45So you took a couple of pictures (that appear to be Apple ads more than anything, as an aside)? I'm sorry if this sounds negative, but I find it completely disingenuous that you denigrate an entire industry and portray a pittance of images as the salvation. When you pay for a stock image, as an aside, a part of the value of paying is economic scarcity: That the images that you choose aren't blanketing every Wordpress…
Also having brand names in your stock photos have certain legal landmines, you should talk to your lawyer before using these photos.
I don't think apple will be upset in this case though...

Finding great stock photos is HARD and if there's a place that can show a few that are free and beautiful looking, that's value add. Have you seen google images? anything free out there with regards to images is totally useless minus 2.

#47I initially thought it was a service to embed your app's screenshot onto any device.
Which, btw, would be awesome.

#48 Quality + Scarcity = You get what you pay for.
If you don't want to pay the big bucks and don't use a lot of media, hire a photographer. In any large city a LF photographer post on craiglists will net you more emails then you know what to do with. If you only need a handful of shots just use one of the many "Fiver" type sites.
I don't know why this post is upvoted so high, unless your website sells macbooks, watches, or glasses of water, the premise is ridiculous.

#49There are millions (billions?) of stock photos in the world, and your plan is to replace all of them with 10 pictures of a MacBook Air?
Even with more pictures it's unlikely you'll beat a Creative Commons search on Flickr:

#50This is awesome, I've also felt the same about finding photos. I hope this changes that. Keep it up! I'll contribute when I learn some post processing so you can have more awesome photos.
Awesome. We're looking for photos to add so when you're ready, you can submit them here: http://unsplash.com/submit
