Each image has been hand-captured by Online Optimism and can be used at your disposal for free.

From the serenity of Meridian Hill to the bustle of K St, our stock photo resources highlight the District’s iconic architecture, its famous restaurant and bar scene, and the people that live, work, and play throughout the District.

All of the pictures included in this folder are free to use under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License. Essentially, you can adapt, or use these photos (even for commercial works) as you see fit.

You can use these images for anything that requires it: presentation slides for a business meeting, service pages for your DC small business site, new social media posts, your blog, and so much more.

These aren’t your typical watermarked, low-resolution photos. They’re shot with high-quality equipment and edited with professional photo editing software. Our visually-savvy social media squad at Online Optimism understands that both image shooting and photo-editing tools are challenging to learn how to use, and that’s why we did the work just for you.

Have a great time looking through each of our free DC stock photos, you’ll be amazed at how much of this glorious city we managed to capture.
