If you landed here because you found a photo of yours somewhere on Just One Craft, thank you for coming to this page first instead of assuming the worst. You are in the right place, and getting this sorted out will take you one short email and very little of your time.
This page explains where the pictures on this site come from, how we credit the people who made them, and exactly what to do if one of them belongs to you.
Our Position, Said Plainly
Just One Craft believes that every third-party image published on this site is either in the public domain, properly licensed, or used in a way that falls under the fair use doctrine for commentary, instruction, review, or reporting. We do not knowingly publish work we have no right to publish, and we have never intended to infringe on anyone’s copyright or intellectual property.
That said, we run a site with a very large photo library, and we are human. If we have made a mistake with your work, we want to know, and we would rather fix it than argue about it.
Every Photo Here Was Made by Someone
Craft content lives or dies on its pictures. A tutorial without a clear shot of the third step is close to useless, which means we understand exactly how much work goes into a good process photo. Lighting a project, shooting each stage without your own hands getting in the way, editing, reshooting when the color comes out wrong. We do it constantly, and it is harder than it looks.
So when the work belongs to a photographer, illustrator, designer, brand, or another maker, Just One Craft treats it as theirs. Credit is not a courtesy here. It is the baseline.
A Closer Look at Where Our Pictures Come From
Images on this site fall into a handful of categories. Here is an honest breakdown of each one.
Creative Commons images
A portion of the supporting photography on the site comes from Creative Commons and free-license platforms including Unsplash, Pexels, Pixabay, Burst, and Flickr Commons. Different licenses carry different terms, and Just One Craft follows the terms attached to the specific image rather than assuming every free photo works the same way. Where a license calls for attribution, we credit the photographer by name and link back to their profile or the original upload page whenever a working link exists.
Original photography
Most of what you see in our tutorials was shot in our own workroom. Process shots, finished project photos, supply flat lays, before and after comparisons, and the step by step sequences inside our guides are made in house on our own table, with our own materials, by us or by contributors working directly with Just One Craft. These images belong to this site outright.
Paid stock photography
Some articles use licensed images from commercial libraries such as Shutterstock, Adobe Stock, Depositphotos, iStock, Getty Images, and Canva Pro. These are used under the terms of whichever license was purchased for them, including any limits on modification, resale, or redistribution. Licensing records are kept on file.
Public domain images
Older craft references, historical patterns, vintage illustrations, botanical prints, and archival material sometimes come from public domain collections such as Wikimedia Commons, the Library of Congress, Smithsonian Open Access, the New York Public Library Digital Collections, and similar institutional archives. Public domain status is checked at the source before publication, and we note the collection the image came from where it is useful to a reader who wants to find the original.
Brand, product, and editorial images
When we review a glue gun, a cutting machine, a paint line, or any other craft tool or supply, an official product image or press photo may appear alongside our own photos of the item in use. These are used in an editorial context, meaning commentary, criticism, instruction, or reporting, which we believe qualifies as fair use. The brand or manufacturer is named in the surrounding text, and attribution is given where it is required or requested.
Reader and collaborator submissions
Readers send us photos of projects they made from our tutorials, and we love it. Those images are only published with the sender’s permission, credited the way they ask to be credited, and taken down at any point if the person changes their mind. The same applies to images shared by guest contributors and collaborating makers.
How We Handle Credit
Where attribution is required, whether by a Creative Commons license, a stock license, an archive’s terms of use, or the editorial use of a brand image, Just One Craft names the creator and links to the original source when a link is available. If a credit is wrong, incomplete, or points at a dead URL, tell us and we will correct it rather than quietly delete the image.
Attribution preferences vary from creator to creator. If you would rather be credited under a studio name, a different handle, or with a link to your portfolio instead of your social profile, say so and we will use what you prefer.
Where Mistakes Slip Through
Across thousands of posts, pins, and updates published over several years, an image occasionally ends up on this site with incomplete credit, a broken source link, or no attribution at all. Usually it traces back to a photo that had already circulated widely, a source page that went offline, or a plain oversight during editing.
None of that is intentional, and none of it is something we defend. When it happens, we fix it fast.
Three Ways We Can Sort This Out
If your work is on Just One Craft and you would like something done about it, you choose the outcome. Not us.
- Credit it. We add your name, your preferred link, and any wording you want alongside the image.
- Change it. We adjust how the image appears, whether that means resizing, cropping, removing a watermark or adding yours, changing the link, or pulling it out of a Pinterest pin.
- Remove it. We take the image down completely, no questions, no negotiation.
Email evelynashfords@hotmail.com and tell us which one you want. Option three needs no explanation from you at all.
Making It Fast on Your End
You do not have to format anything or use any particular language. A few details just help us act on the same day instead of writing back to ask questions:
- The link to the page on Just One Craft where the image appears
- A link to the original, or anything showing the work is yours, such as your portfolio, your site, or the original upload
- Your name and how you would like us to reach you
- Which of the three options above you want
If you only have part of that, send what you have.
What Happens Once Your Message Arrives
We confirm we received your email so you are not left wondering. We check the claim where it is reasonable to do so, which is normally a quick look at the source you sent. We then carry out whichever option you picked, and we write back to confirm it is done, with a link so you can see for yourself.
Where the same image was used in more than one post or pin, we check the whole site rather than fixing the single page you found.
How Quickly We Reply
Requests from rights holders go to the front of the queue. Just One Craft aims to respond to every image request within 48 hours, and a straightforward removal is usually handled the same business day it comes in.
No Lawyer Required
There is no formal notice to file here, no legal template to fill out, and no reason to hire anyone before you get in touch. An email in plain language is enough, and we would much rather handle it directly with you than through anybody’s legal department.
Get in Touch
Questions about how an image was sourced, a correction to a credit, or a removal request all go to the same place:
Whatever it is, write to us. Just One Craft would far rather hear from you than have you assume nobody here cares.
