I think you can use any pictures you find unless it says they are copyrighted, If someone contacts you in time to come and asks you to remove it, Do so.

Not free, but near free... www.istockphoto.com Only $1 for most images.

Something like this?

I usually use googles image service, i find pictures of crowds and cut people out of them, usually 99% of the time the people in the crowds would never know your using them.

You could also take your own pictures instead of looking for others. Have someone pose or pose yourself and have someone photograph you. Pictures are very sensitive to copyrights on the web. Don't use anyone else's photos without written permission (unless they're on a public domain site).

Try getting cliparts membership or royalty free images.

Search on "google". You will find many links.

Careful with using stock sites - make sure you read the agreements and terms VERY carefully. The majority don't like you reselling products containing their images, even if you apy for them (i.e. in a template)

Best bet is to take photo's yourself, and persuade a friends to wear a suit, stand in a stupid pose in front of a tall building with a phone pressed to the side of their head...voila.

Seriously though, if you've got the ability taking photos yourself is a fairly safe bet, at least you know the photos are your own property and so long as you dont take pictures of random people and use those, you'll be fine.
