Photo credits

We did not shoot a single photo on Ember & Thread. Each one was given away by its photographer under CC0 1.0, the Creative Commons public-domain dedication, which means no credit is owed. We still name every photographer, under the picture itself and again below, sorted by the platform where we picked the file up.

Drawn in-house

The handful of line drawings scattered through the guides (a sprig of mint, a hiking boot, needle and thread, a macramé hanger, a lantern) are ours, made for Ember & Thread.

What we changed, and what the photos do not say

Before publishing, we trimmed every photo to 3:2, scaled it down and saved it as WebP; on the pages they all get the same soft colour wash. Strangers who turn up in a shot have nothing to do with Ember & Thread or with the guide around them, and their presence is no endorsement. Logos or labels you may notice remain the property of their owners.
