If you’re a photographer or food blogger and you’ve just spotted your image on It’s For Two, thanks for stopping by this page first. It explains where our images come from, how we credit other creators, and how to reach us if something needs fixing. Most requests take one short email.
Our Approach to Image Use
It’s For Two uses third-party images in good faith. We believe every image on the site that we didn’t create ourselves is used under the fair use doctrine, under a license that permits it, from the public domain, or with the creator’s permission. It’s For Two has no intention of infringing anyone’s copyright or intellectual property.
If an image of yours is here and that’s not okay with you, we’ll make it right.
Where Our Images Come From
A recipe blog lives and dies by its photos, so here’s exactly how the images on It’s For Two are sourced.
Original photography. The large majority of images on It’s For Two are photos we take ourselves of the recipes we make, from step-by-step process shots to the finished plate. These images are owned by It’s For Two. They may not be reused without permission, though we’re glad when readers share a pin or a link back to the recipe.
Recipe photos from other food creators. Some roundup posts, such as “12 Valentine’s Desserts for Two,” feature recipes from other food bloggers. In those posts, each photo is credited to its creator and links straight to the original recipe, so readers cook it on the creator’s own site. We use these images with permission from the creator or, where that isn’t practical, in good faith under fair use as commentary and recommendation that points readers to the source.
Free-license photo libraries. For general images, such as a bowl of lemons, a close-up of fresh herbs or a seasonal background, It’s For Two may use photos from Unsplash, Pexels or Pixabay under each platform’s own license. We may also use Creative Commons images from sources such as Wikimedia Commons or Flickr. When a Creative Commons license requires attribution, such as CC BY or CC BY-SA, we credit the creator and follow the license terms.
Paid stock photography. Now and then, It’s For Two may license an image from a commercial library such as Adobe Stock, Shutterstock, Depositphotos or Canva Pro. These are used under the terms of the license we paid for.
Product and brand images. When we recommend kitchen tools, like a 6-inch cake pan, a small Dutch oven or an instant-read thermometer, the post may show a product image supplied by the brand or retailer. These appear in an editorial context to help readers see what we’re describing. Where attribution is needed, we credit the brand or source.
Public domain images. On the rare occasion we use a historical image, such as a vintage cookbook illustration in a post about the history of a classic dish, it comes from a public domain collection such as the Library of Congress, Smithsonian Open Access or Wikimedia Commons.
Reader photos. If a reader shares a photo of a recipe they made and gives us permission, It’s For Two may feature it with their name or handle.
How We Credit Other Creators
Whenever an image needs attribution, It’s For Two credits the creator by name and links to the original source wherever possible. This applies to Creative Commons images, roundup photos from other blogs, brand images used in recommendations and reader photos.
If you notice a credit that’s wrong, missing or pointing to the wrong place, tell us and we’ll fix it promptly.
When a Credit Slips Through
It’s For Two publishes a lot of posts and a lot of pins, so mistakes can happen. A source link can break, an image can be credited to the wrong person, or a photo that circulated widely online can reach us without its original creator’s name attached.
When that happens, it’s never intentional. Point it out and we’ll correct it quickly.
We Respect the Work Behind Every Photo
Good food photography takes real skill. The styling, the lighting and the patience to shoot a dish before it goes cold all take time. It’s For Two respects the photographers, food bloggers, illustrators, designers and brands whose work appears online, and we want every creator featured on this site to feel fairly treated.
