You can use free alternatives. There is a lot of quality ones coming to the fore. I suggest unsplash.com.

Of course, these such sites might not have the breadth and volume of imagery you need. These can be a brilliant alternative when you're looking for more atmospheric imagery. They are high quality and have no restrictions - you get the full, high res image immediately with no watermark and no need to provide attribution, even for commercial work.

Be sure to check sites like this if you're not looking for anything too specific.

RM agencies, Getty Images for example, have "Comping File License" which is free of charge or for a minimal fee.

I know only two RF agencies that provide comp images which are Dreamstime and 123rf, I'm sure there are more. Large images (with watermark) are available for registered users only.
