Free Image Photo Resources
If you are looking to find photos that are free consider using these sites. Be careful in your review of the images as photos are from around the world. Zoom in on the newspaper laying on the table to confirm it is written in English. Review street images to make certain car license plates are not from Europe.

Licensed Photo Resources
The State of Iowa has purchased a small number of licenses for Shutterstock for agencies to use. All agencies can submit a Service Desk request for DoIT to download an image for your website.
Images that have been selected from Shutterstock, purchased from a local photographer, or identified as available under creative commons are available for agencies in the shared DX Photo Gallery Google drive.
Please keep in mind that while there are other free resource for photos include pixels and unsplashed, due to these being international collections of photos, be sure that you are selecting a photo that is US based with an Iowa field and avoid images with mountains, oceans, car licenses plates, and traffic signs from other countries. Also, avoid images with text burned or added into them.
