If you've ever searched for stock photos featuring people of color, you may have found that these images can be a little hard to find. However, in recent months the curation of these images has grown significantly. So to aid in your search, I have comprised a list of 6 of my favorite sites where you can find stocks photos that feature black and colored skin tones.
