Free pictures for your presentation

Hear a piece of information, and three days later you’ll remember 10% of it. Add a picture and you will remember 65%.


One of the biggest questions we are asked is:

“Where do I find good
stock images for presentations?”


 

Currently the trend of images is for real authentic photos that represent real people in real scenarios that evoke your senses and emotions through a connection, something they can relate with.

So, avoid fake studio shots of handshakes and photo-shopped faces with immaculate teeth.

Think ‘Instagram or Snapchat effect’. Real people doing real things – images that are emotionally engaging – trusted and human.
