Show some of yourself

Many people are a little hesitant about it, but it's definitely a good idea to show some of yourself on your website. Do you have a nice photo of your store or your team? Be sure to use it on your website, as it immediately makes it more personal as well.

As a matter of fact, a good camera will get you a long way. Even some smartphones today are equipped with a quality camera. Be sure to read our blog on product photography if you are interested in this.

Still haven't found what you were looking for?

In addition to free providers, there are quite a few websites that sell paying stock photos. The advantage of paying providers compared to free providers is that their offer is much larger. Therefore, if you really do not find what you are looking for, you can always take a look at the collections of iStock, Shutterstock or Getty Images, for example.

NEVER just use pictures from the internet

Whatever you do, never simply copy images from sources such as Google Images, Pinterest or other websites. After all, many images are subject to copyright protection. There can be heavy fines for violating copyright.
