If you’re a photographer, illustrator, designer or brand, and you’ve just spotted your work on Lifestyle With ANNA, hello, and thank you for reading this before doing anything else. This page explains where the pictures on this fashion and nail blog come from, and how to reach me if one of them is yours, so we can sort it out quickly and kindly.

How I Think About Image Use

I believe the images on Lifestyle With ANNA are either licensed, in the public domain, or used in a way that qualifies as fair use. I never mean to infringe on anyone’s copyright or intellectual property. A style blog is a visual thing, so I take image rights seriously, and I’d much rather hear about a mistake than leave it sitting on the site.

Where the Images Come From

The images on Lifestyle With ANNA come from a mix of the sources below. Not every post uses every source.

Brand, editorial and press images. Fashion coverage often needs to show the actual piece: a coat from a retailer’s product page, a dress from a brand’s lookbook, a photo that illustrates a trend. Where I use an image like this in a roundup, a shopping guide or a trend discussion, I believe the use qualifies as fair use because it supports commentary, criticism or reporting. I credit the brand or photographer where required, and I link to the source where I can.

Original photography. Where a photo is shot by me or a contributor for the site, such as a close-up of a nail design or an outfit photo, it belongs to Lifestyle With ANNA.

Free-to-use libraries and Creative Commons. Some images come from libraries like Unsplash, Pexels and Pixabay, which each publish their own license terms, and from Creative Commons sources (CC0, CC BY, CC BY-SA and others). I follow the terms of each license, including giving credit where it’s required.

Paid stock photography. Some images are licensed from commercial libraries such as Shutterstock, Adobe Stock or Canva Pro, and used under the terms of those licenses.

Public domain images. Older work, or work its creator has dedicated to the public domain, may appear on the site. Typical sources are Wikimedia Commons, the Library of Congress and Smithsonian Open Access.

Images from readers or collaborators. If a reader or collaborator sends me a photo, I use it only with their permission.

Respect for the People Behind the Pictures

Photographers, illustrators, designers and brands put real work into what they make, and I respect that. Lifestyle With ANNA exists because people make beautiful things, and my job is to show them fairly.

Giving Credit

Where credit is required, such as Creative Commons BY licenses, editorial use of brand images, or fair use commentary, Lifestyle With ANNA names the original creator and links to the source where possible. If you point out a mistake in a credit, I update it promptly.

When Credit Might Be Missing

Lifestyle With ANNA publishes a lot of images across many posts and pins. Occasionally an image may appear without full or correct credit, because of an oversight, a broken source link, or a picture that circulated widely before it reached me. That is never intentional. If you find one, tell me, and I’ll correct it quickly.

If You’re a Rights Holder

If you find your work on Lifestyle With ANNA, you have three options, and the choice is yours:

  1. Credit. Ask me to add proper credit and attribution.
  2. Change. Ask me to change how the work is shown, such as cropping, size, a watermark, or a different link.
  3. Removal. Ask me to take the work down completely.

Email [email protected] and tell me which one you’d like.

How Fast I Respond

I aim to respond to every request within 48 hours. Simple removals can usually be handled the same business day.

No Lawyer Needed

You don’t need to file a formal legal notice or hire a lawyer before contacting me. A simple email is enough. I’d much rather handle this directly and quickly.

Making It Easy for Me to Help

These details help me act fast:

  • A link to the page on Lifestyle With ANNA where the image appears
  • A link to the original source, or proof that the work is yours, such as your portfolio or website
  • Your name and the best way to reach you
  • Which option you prefer: credit, change, or removal

What Happens Next

When your email arrives, I confirm I’ve received it and, where it makes sense, check that the work is yours. Then I do what you asked, whether that’s adding credit, changing how the image is shown, or removing it, and I write back to confirm it’s done.
