Images illustrating articles may be shared and quoted provided you include full attribution:

  • link to the specific article the image comes from.

Example of correct attribution:

Without the photo author's permission, commercial use, editing (including cropping that changes meaning), removal of metadata, and publication without the required attribution are not allowed.

Prohibited use

Regardless of the terms above, we prohibit the use of images from this site - in whole or in part - in any context that:

  • damages the authors' reputation or implies their endorsement of views they do not support,
  • is political, campaign-related, advocacy-driven, or used for lobbying,
  • promotes violence, hatred, discrimination, or material with a negative, offensive, or harmful tone,
  • is misleading, manipulative, or uses the images contrary to their original meaning and the authors' intent.

Any use contrary to these principles constitutes copyright infringement and a violation of moral rights. Shutter Torture retains the final decision on whether a given context of publication is acceptable - without obligation to justify a refusal.
