# Photo credits

Every photograph on this site is **downloaded and self-hosted** under `src/assets/photos/` and
served through Astro's image pipeline. Nothing is hotlinked from an external host, so no third
party can change or withdraw an image after launch, and the site's Content-Security-Policy keeps
`img-src` to `'self'`.

All seven photographs come from **Unsplash** and are used under the **Unsplash License**
(<https://unsplash.com/license>), which allows commercial use without asking permission and does
not require attribution. Credits are recorded here anyway.

Downloaded **18 September 2026**. Each file was resized, re-encoded as progressive JPEG at quality
80 and stripped of metadata. No image contains a recognisable face, a business logo, a watermark
or a street number.

## Edits made

- `work-4.jpg`: the right-hand side of the frame was cropped away to remove a house number from the
  wall beside the front door, then trimmed to a landscape crop.
- All files: resized (2000 px wide for the hero, interior and landscape images; 1600 px for the
  showcase images), re-encoded and stripped of EXIF, IPTC and XMP metadata.

## Photographer names

The Unsplash CDN serves these files without embedded metadata, and unsplash.com's photo pages and
search API were not reachable from the build environment (HTTP 401 without an API key), so the
individual photographers could not be recorded. The Unsplash License does not require attribution;
if API access is added later, the photographer names can be filled in against the source URLs above.

## House rules for photography on this site

- Free-licence images only, verified before use, and self-hosted.
- No photograph is presented as a client's project. Sample designs are labelled as fictional
  businesses.
- No recognisable faces, logos, watermarks or street numbers.
