Image Credits

Almost every article on PetalPoko is brought to life by a photograph, and almost none of those photographs are ours. They come from generous photographers and the platforms that host their work, often shared freely for anyone to use. We did not have to credit them here, because their licences do not require it. We wanted to anyway.

So this page is a simple thank you to the people and communities whose images help make PetalPoko a warmer, clearer, and more beautiful place to read.

A special thanks to Pexels

The bulk of the imagery you see across PetalPoko comes from Pexels and its wonderful community of photographers. Pexels has been the backbone of how this site looks, and we are genuinely grateful for it. To every photographer who has shared their work there, thank you. Your images carry more of these articles than you will ever know.

Thanks to Pixabay

We are also grateful to Pixabay and its contributors for the many images we have drawn on. Pixabay’s library of freely shared photography and illustration has filled gaps, set moods, and helped ideas land, and we appreciate every creator behind it.

Thanks to Unsplash

Our thanks go as well to Unsplash and its photographers, whose striking, generous work has added depth and character to our pages. It is a rare and lovely thing for people to give their craft away so freely, and we do not take it for granted.

And to the photographers themselves

Behind every platform are real people, often photographers sharing their work simply so that others can use it. To all of them, named and unnamed, thank you. Your generosity lets a small publication like ours look far better than it otherwise could, and it lets us spend our energy on the writing while trusting the visuals to people who do it beautifully.

A note on how we use images

We use images under the free licences offered by these platforms, and we do our best to respect the spirit of that generosity: using images thoughtfully, never implying that a photographer endorses PetalPoko, and always happy to remove or correct any image on request.

If you are a photographer and would like your work credited by name, changed, or taken down, please get in touch at support@petalpoko.com and we will sort it out gladly.

Thank you for making the internet a more generous place. PetalPoko is prettier because of you.
