All 124 photographs on this site, with source, creator and license. Nothing here is presented as our own photography.

What the photographs on this site are - and are not

Every image on Penny & Pick is an openly licensed photograph sourced through Openverse, which aggregates public-domain and Creative Commons imagery from collections including Wikimedia Commons. All of it is cleared for commercial use. Nothing with a non-commercial or no-derivatives restriction is used anywhere on the site.

They serve one purpose: illustrating a category or a topic. None of them is a photograph of a product we own, a product we tested, or anything belonging to us. We do not run a test lab, so there are no studio shots of our own units - and presenting a stock photograph as evidence of hands-on use would be exactly the kind of claim the editorial policy forbids.

A photograph on a page about air fryers shows an air fryer; it does not show the specific model recommended on that page, and it is not offered as proof of anything. For an actual look at a product, use the buy link and view the retailer's own images.

Of the 124 images below, 90 are public domain or CC0 and carry no attribution obligation at all; 34 are CC BY and are attributed to their creators by name. We list all of them either way, because the obligation is not the reason to be transparent about where a picture came from.
