Love the site. I got many pics from it to suebin my personal projects so I could later show them off in my portfolio, some parts of which used to be public, so this really helped me avoid any trouble with licensing or anything.

Sometimes I also get some pics there to turn into wallpapers for my phone or my 16:9 screens.

Absolutely recommended, especially if you need assets for your projects that won't get you in trouble.

So, I really like using Unsplash.

One thing I am always uneasy about is when I see just how many photos with people there are on the site. What model in their right mind would agree to give away their likeness for free and practically without being able to control the use of the resulting works at all?

Like, imagine a right-wing party uses you wearing a rainbow shirt as a motive in their campaign. And since the image is not individually licensed, there is pretty much nothing you can do.
