In this post with free doctor stock photos I will be referring to medical doctors, physicians and surgeons. A medical doctor is a person who is licensed to practice medicine and has trained at a school of medicine. They are the professionals that practise medicine, treat injuries and diseases.
Finding good images in this niche can be difficult due to the amount of generic and non-personal models. Some of you might know what kind of images I’m referring to. Check out this post with the Best Worst Medical images, I’m sure some of them will make you laugh out loud.
Below I have selected 20 graphics related from tools and equipment to medical doctors, nurses, surgeons and dentists that illustrate professionalism and trust. With our selection of free photos you can illustrate your blog posts and use them in your presentations and designs. No attribution is required, but we suggest you check out what license comes with the photos you intend on using. Happy downloading!

Today I’m sharing a selection of free environmental stock photos from our gallery. The environment is everything around us as we all live in our own environment, interacting with living and nonliving things around us. Many of us rely on the environment and natural resources to survive.
Environmentalism is a broad movement that feels obligated to protect the natural environment, to keep it safe. It advocates the preservation, restoration and/or improvement of the natural environment, and may be referred to as a movement to control pollution or protect plant and animal diversity.
In this post I will focus on eco-friendly images that promote environmentalism and ecologism. Green energy, recycling and sustainable management of natural resources is a popular subject and you can use the stock photos below to illustrate your blog posts, articles and other material.

If you came here looking for free red stock photos, you’re in the right place. Often we need a photo to fit a certain color to match an existing design or color scheme. Colors have different emotions and meanings attached to them, depending on what culture you belong to.
Being one of the first colors in prehistoric art, the pigments of red were used by the Ancient Egyptians and Mayans as ceremonial face painting. The Chinese also used the color red to paint early pottery and the walls of palaces.
Red is the color at the end of the visible spectrum of light, next to orange and opposite violet. It is a primary color in the RGB color model and the CMYK color model, and is the complementary color of cyan. While red is the color most associated with love, it also the color most frequently associated with danger, hatred, anger, aggression and war. But in China, India and many other Asian countries it is the color of symbolizing happiness and good fortune.
In this post I have selected 30 images that feature red as their primary color. They range from abstract backgrounds to pictures of food, objects and people. I hope you find something that you can use for your current or future projects, enjoy!

With summer coming to an end in my part of the world, the autumn is setting in with it’s lovely colors, falling leaves and colder temperatures. This is the time to pick up your camera and start shooting amazing images of the fall landscape. We’re always in need of more free autumn stock photos, so why not share them with the Stockvault community.
Autumn is a beautiful season and marks the transition from summer to winter. In the Northern Hemisphere autumn starts in September but in the Southern Hemisphere it starts in March. With shortening daylight and lower temperatures most trees start shedding their leaves. It’s the season of leaf peeping, also called foliage tour, where people travel to view and photograph the fall foliage in areas where leaves change colors in autumn.
During a few weeks in the autumn season the leaves, mostly green ones, take on various autumn colors. The distinctive colors of fall are shades of orange, red, yellow, purple, black and brown. This is commonly referred to as autumn colours or autumn foliage in British English and fall colors, fall foliage or simply foliage in American English.
I have hand-picked 20 beautiful autumn stock photos from our main gallery that you can use for your website, blog and designs. Enjoy!
