Pexels – The best free stock photos in one place It can be tough to find the perfect image for your design, a presentation or an article. You can't simply look on Google for images because you could run into serious legal problems for using a photo that’s not free for commercial use. And often the resolution of the photos is too low. So if you don't want to pay for stock photos and avoid legal trouble check out Pexels. It's a great alternative. With our increasing number of photos that you can use everywhere you'll find the perfect photo. All photos are licensed under Creative Commons Zero. This means you are allowed to use the images for personal and commercial use. And it's not required to set a link back to Pexels or to the photographer. Additionally, you can edit and change the photos as you like.

What should a CMO post when his brand is launching a re-brand? (And no, I'm not trying to be clever here — this is literally my first rebrand 😅) But if I had to say (which I do), it shouldn't be about making yourself the hero. Because a brand isn't what you say you are — it's what you help others become. This year alone, 300+ million people downloaded content on Pexels more than half a billion times. But we're not the hero of this story. The real magic? It comes from contributors all over the world who share their photos and videos. They are the ones empowering the internet to create — bringing stories, projects, and ideas to life. Every photo on Pexels has a story behind it. A human behind the lens, showing you the world as they see it. From the most iconic places to the most remote areas in the world. This re-brand isn't a pivot. We're not becoming something different. We're doubling down on building the most impactful creative community & library — showing the world through the lens of local photographers. This was a massive effort by the whole team, but it wouldn't have been possible without the magic brought by Nicolas Mariotti (Head of Design), Ciara Brady (Brand & Content Lead), and our partners at Wunder

So, earlier this year, I hit the bodacious milestone of 100 million views on my Pexels photos! 💪 I then set myself a goal of reaching 150 million by the end of the year! 🎯 Fast forward to now, I’ve dropped a fresh Christmas-themed collection, and the numbers are going crazy—thousands of views per photo, with some pulling nearly 2 MILLION each! This festive push has moved me up to 147 MILLION views! Almost there... 😬 If you could do with some royalty-free photos to bring your projects to life and give them the festive feels then check out my collection here: 👇 https://lnkd.in/eKeQkJVD You can expect to find the following vibes: 🧁 Christmas Baking ❄️ Snowy Mooching 🎅 The Gig Man, Santa C 🎄 Christmas Decorations 📫 Letter to Santa 🦌 Reindeers ☕️ Hot Chocolates

Okay can we talk about how our community is absolutely CRUSHING the high contrast game lately? 🤯 First things first - what even IS contrast? It's the difference between the darkest and lightest parts of your image. But here's where most people go wrong: They crank up the contrast slider and call it a day. Well...that's not exactly how it works. So let's get technical: 🎯 Shooting for contrast: Raw format is non-negotiable (yes, we'll keep saying this. Expose for your highlights - you can recover shadows but blown highlights are gone forever. Look for scenes with natural contrast: morning light streaming through windows, architectural shadows, light beams in dark spaces. Golden hour isn't just for soft shots - those long shadows create perfect natural contrast. 🎯 The editing journey: Start with basic exposure adjustments (brightness, exposure, highlights, shadows). Master curves adjustments - they give you way more control than the contrast slider ever will. Play with RGB curves to fine-tune specific colors (warmer highlights, cooler shadows = instant depth). Use selective adjustments to target specific areas rather than applying changes to the whole image. 🎯 Advanced contrast tricks most tutorials skip: Split toning: Cool shadows + warm highlights create natural-looking contrast. Use clarity sparingly: It's a powerful tool that needs a light touch. Master dodge and burn for precise contrast control in specific areas. Try luminosity masks to target exact tonal ranges (sounds complex, but worth learning). 🎯 The 'please don't do this' list: Maxing out the contrast slider (we've all been there, time to level up). Forgetting about local contrast - different areas need different treatment. Overlooking color contrast - complementary colors can create impact without touching contrast. Crushing your blacks until all detail disappears. Takeaway: High contrast is about creating depth and visual impact that makes people go 'wait, how did they do THAT?'.
