Free Stock Photography
Most of these websites offer free photos with Creative Commons 0 (Public domain/no attribution) licenses, meaning you can practically use them anyway you want for free. Be sure to check each image’s license. I also recommend attribution wherever possible, since some of the photographers benefit from publicity (i.e., people will go to them to pay for work).
