Unsplash and Death to the Stock Photo are two favorites of mine. Great resources if you're trying to rid yourself of that typical stock photo look. More here.

Albumarium is another cool site for finding nice looking photos. Be aware that the licensing differs though, not all of them are free to use for commercial projects or without attribution.

You can buy vectors at best prices in stock images sites like Dreamstime not yet mentioned on answers above.

If you don't find the vector you need, you can ask someone to design them in the forums at the same price of an existing one.

They also have a completely free sectione of high resolution Royalty Free stock images completely for free here.

Find Icons is a great search site where you get a lot of hight quality hits when you search. You can download the icons in different formats, including multi-resolution icon if available for the particular icon.

You can also filter on size range, icon color and licence type. Also you can sort by different criteria, and set different background on the previews.
