Image Credits

Great photography brings the Canary Islands to life, and we're grateful to the photographers who make it possible. The images across The Canary Guide come from Unsplash and Wikimedia Commons, used under their respective licences. This page explains where our pictures come from and how to raise any concern about an image.

Where our photos come from

We use images from two main sources:

• Unsplash — photographs shared by their creators under the Unsplash licence, which allows use for projects like ours. Many talented photographers make their work freely available there, and we've drawn on it to illustrate beaches, resorts, food and landscapes.
• Wikimedia Commons — a library of freely licensed media, where images are shared under licences such as Creative Commons (for example CC BY and CC BY-SA) or released into the public domain. We use these in line with the terms of each individual file's licence.

Individual credits

Because licences and attribution requirements vary from photo to photo, individual credits appear alongside the images as they're used across the site — naming the photographer and, where the licence requires it, the licence and source. That way each creator is acknowledged in the place their work appears, which is the fairest way to do it.

With thanks to the photographers

A sincere thank-you to every photographer and contributor whose work appears on The Canary Guide. Your images help readers picture the islands before they arrive and make the guide far more useful and enjoyable than words alone ever could. We don't take that generosity for granted.

Reporting an image concern

We do our best to use images correctly and to attribute them properly, but if you're a photographer or rights-holder and you believe an image has been used incorrectly, credited wrongly, or should be removed, please let us know. Email us via our contact page with the page address and details of the image, and we'll review it promptly and put things right — whether that means correcting the credit or taking the image down. We want every creator to be happy with how their work is used here.

All 839 photographs on The Canary Guide are freely licensed images, almost all of them from Wikimedia Commons. 799 require the photographer to be named; those carry a full credit line directly beneath the photo as well as the entry below. The remaining 40 are public domain, CC0 or Unsplash and need no attribution, but are credited here anyway.

The table lists every photo: the page it appears on, the image title at the source, the photographer and the licence. Title, photographer and licence all link onward to the original.

Photos marked scaled have been reduced for web use; those marked converted were already small enough and were only re-encoded to WebP. Nothing else has been changed.
