Every photograph on Slow Lens is the work of a named photographer and is used under a free licence. Here is the full list.

Photographs

The 571 photographs on this site were selected from Wikimedia Commons, where their authors have published them under free licences (CC BY-SA 4.0: 365, CC BY-SA 3.0: 124, CC BY 4.0: 47, CC BY 2.5: 13, CC BY 3.0: 6, CC0: 6, CC BY-SA 2.5 CA: 4, CC BY-SA 3.0 PL: 3, Public domain: 2, CC BY 3.0 DE: 1). Each entry below links to our photo page and to the original file page on Wikimedia Commons, which has the full licence text and any additional details the author provides.

Under these licences you’re free to share and adapt the photographs, including commercially, as long as you credit the author and indicate the licence; for CC BY-SA images, adaptations must be shared under the same licence. Our resized versions (600, 1200 and 2400 px) and the full-resolution downloads are offered under the same licence as the source file. We have not altered the photographs beyond resizing, re-compression and removal of location metadata.

Captions are ours. If you’re one of the photographers and something is wrong — a caption, a credit, or you’d rather a frame wasn’t here — please email hello@slowlens.pro.
