Firstly, what exactly do you understand by Public Domain Photos? Well, these are the photos which any person can use for their personal or professional use, without infringing upon the copyright laws. In other words, the copyrights of such images or art have either expired or do not exist at all.
There are various images in Public Domain that are available to people for free use. While some of these are clicked by random people, some of them even belong to professional photographers. Yes! Even professional photographers submit their photos for free use, and not always have the motive of earning revenue through each and every photo they clicked.
