I just tested an image search on Bing (https://www.bing.com/images/search?q=test) and Brave Search (https://search.brave.com/images?q=test) and it definitely appears that Brave is falling back to Bing as the results are highly identical, especially compared to Google (https://www.google.com/search?q=test).

They mention that image search is 100% bing. Not sure if this is planned to be replaced by their own implementation later.
"However for some features, like searching for images, Brave Search will fetch results from Microsoft Bing."

Indeed, we lean heavily on Bing for image search. With time and maturation, this will change I'm sure. That said, when Bing lacked "tank man" results recently, Brave Search still yielded results (although the quality wasn't what we'd like to see; still a beta product.
