Image Credits

Every photo, illustration, and graphic on Oriessa is chosen with care to support our stories on home decor, fashion, beauty, nails, hairstyles, fitness, weddings, DIY, and interiors. This page explains where our images come from, how licensing and attribution work across the site, and what to do if you believe an image needs a correction, credit, or removal. If you have questions after reading this, our Contact page is always open.

Where Our Images Come From

We use a mix of sources to illustrate our articles and guides. Most images fall into one of the following categories:

• Original photography created by our team or contributors specifically for Oriessa.
• Licensed stock images purchased or subscribed to through reputable stock photo platforms.
• Royalty-free or public domain images that permit reuse without individual credit.
• Images submitted voluntarily by readers, brands, or collaborators as part of a feature or partnership.

Whenever an image requires attribution under its license terms, we make every reasonable effort to credit the photographer, illustrator, or brand either directly beneath the image or in a caption or footnote within the article.

Licensed and Third-Party Assets

Many of the images used across our fashion, beauty, and interiors content are licensed through commercial stock photography agreements. These licenses typically allow editorial and commercial use on a content website like ours, but they do not transfer ownership of the image itself. The original rights remain with the photographer, agency, or platform that produced the work.

When we feature a brand's product photos, a designer's portfolio image, or a vendor's styling shot — for example, in a wedding décor roundup or a hairstyle tutorial — we aim to name the source wherever the original creator has requested or requires it. If you are a brand or creator and notice that your image appears without proper credit, please see the request section below.

Images Related to Pinterest and Social Platforms

Some of our content references or is inspired by images we encounter on visual discovery platforms. We handle this carefully and separately, and full detail on how we approach sourcing, linking, and crediting content connected to Pinterest is available in our Pinterest Disclaimer. That page should be read alongside this one if you are trying to understand how a specific visual made its way into one of our posts.

Reuse and Permission Rules

Unless otherwise stated, the images published on Oriessa are intended for viewing within our articles and are not free for republication elsewhere. Please do not download, copy, or repost our original photography, graphics, or edited images on another website, social account, or print product without written permission.

If you would like to use one of our images — for a blog post, a mood board, a classroom project, or any other purpose — please reach out to us first. We are generally happy to discuss reasonable requests, especially for original Oriessa photography, but we ask that you always ask before publishing elsewhere so we can confirm what rights we actually hold for that particular image.

How We Handle Editorial Accuracy Around Images

Images on Oriessa are selected to support and illustrate the written content, not to replace it. A styled interior, a nail art design, or a fitness pose shown in a photo is meant as visual inspiration rather than a literal guarantee of results, materials, or outcomes. For more on how we approach accuracy, sourcing, and editorial standards across the site, take a look at our Editorial Policy. General limitations on how our content — visual or written — should be interpreted and relied upon are also outlined in our Disclaimer, which we encourage every reader to review.

Requesting Credit, Correction, or Removal

We take image ownership seriously and want to get attribution right. If you are the copyright holder of an image appearing on Oriessa and:

• you would like proper credit added or corrected,
• you believe the image was used without appropriate license or permission, or
• you would like the image removed entirely,

please contact us directly with the article URL, a description or screenshot of the image in question, and proof of ownership or the license terms you hold. We review every request personally and respond promptly. Reach our team any time at [email protected], or through the form on our Contact page.

Collaborations and Submitted Images

Brands, photographers, and creators who work with us through our Collaboration program may supply their own images for a feature. In these cases, credit terms and usage rights are agreed upon before publication, and any specific arrangements override the general rules described on this page. If you have submitted images for a past or upcoming collaboration and have questions about how they are credited or used, please get in touch so we can clarify the details of your particular agreement.
