Have you seen how many options there are for online image banks?

Well, use and abuse these and many more. But a word of caution: when choosing an image bank to illustrate your project, there is always the risk of finding images that are widely used on websites and social media, not to mention the difficulty of finding specific images that fit your needs.

However, it's time to reveal the long-awaited tip: the secret is to mix some photos from photo banks with real photos. This is because the image that you sell to you is also sold to other clients.

And that's not all. Too "perfect" pictures, almost "unreal" reality now cause a certain disgust - depending on the part of the actor. Complaints are often raised about the lack of photos in photo banks that depict, for example, a variety of races and genders.
