Every photo on the site: the guide it belongs to, who took it, where it comes from and the licence we use it under.

A guide prints each photo’s credit under the photo. The lead photo also shows on the home page and in the guide lists, without a credit; this page covers those places. The share cards, the diagrams and the line patterns, shown where a guide has no photo, are our own drawings.
