Free Stock Image Rules

These images are for the use of Photo-compositors, Artists and Photo-manipulators.
Please read the rules before downloading any of these stock images.

You are required to give Ethiriel appropriate credit as photographer where and however possible. Ethiriel stock is free; the way you "pay" to use it is by crediting Etheriel. It doesn't need to be in big letters on the image, it can be in text or a link or in liner notes, or whateverbut it's your responsibility to acknowledge if Ethirie's work contributes to yours.
If you post a link, post it to Ethiriel website ( www.ethiriel.com )

If you violate any of these rules or violate any of Ethiriel copyrights you are prohibited entirely, forever, from using any of Ethiriel stock in any way, shape, or form commercially or otherwise. Decisions are final.

You may use these images as you see fit except as follows:

1) You are required to give Ethiriel appropriate credit as photographer where and however possible.

2) You are allowed to repost works based on Ethiriel stock in other places (RedBubble, Renderosity, Deviant Art, Facebook, personal websites, contests, whatever) but please maintain a credit to Ethiriel.

3) Do not simply upload Ethiriel images to a pay site; if you do that, you'll get a DMCA request from Ethiriel and possibly I'll sue you for damages. These images are for photocompositors and artists; they are not to be used as content in and of themselves.

4) If you want to do something commercial with Ethiriel stock images, it helps if you tell us first. We have signed releases from our models but it's just a matter of courtesy to follow "The Law of Least Surprise"

5) The models in Ethiriel images are real human beings with real feelings. Please be considerate of how the models might see themselves and be respectful of their feelings at all times.

6) These images are mostly un-retouched though they may be colour-corrected and are at high resolution. We do not remove dust-spots, skin blemishes, etc. Please clean that stuff up in post-work and make the models look good! These images are intended as raw stock.

7) Ethiriel is able to forward copies or links to copies of pictures to the models who have expressed an interest in seeing what you do with them. Some of the models may choose to use your images in their personal portfolios. If you have a problem with that, please let us know.
