Photo Licensing & Reuse

Our pages are photo-led on purpose — real photography, real people, real places. If you'd like to reuse one of our images, here's how it works.

What the archive holds

Every public CultureTechLens page carries rights-cleared photography, each image credited where it appears. Some images are public domain or openly licensed — their credit lines say so. Others appear with permission granted to CultureTechLens specifically.

How to request reuse

Email [email protected] and tell us:

• The image — the page where it appears, or a clear description of it
• What it's for — the publication, project, or outlet
• How it will appear — print, web, broadcast, or otherwise
• Your timeline

Every request gets a human answer.

Editorial and educational use vs. commercial use

Editorial and educational requests — journalism, classrooms, scholarship, community archives — are usually straightforward: ask, we confirm, you publish with the credit line below. Commercial requests — advertising, merchandise, for-profit products — need a separate written agreement first. Tell us which kind yours is and we'll take it from there.

Required credit

Every permitted reuse carries a credit line. The standard forms:

• Photo: CultureTechLens
• Source: CultureTechLens

We confirm the exact line when we grant permission — some images carry additional credit requirements from their original licensors, and we'll tell you what those are.

What isn't licensable

Some images on our pages carry unclear or third-party rights we can't pass on. Those aren't available for reuse — and when you ask, we'll tell you plainly which ones they are. No guessing, no maybes.
