All of our images are taken by the Open Vintage Shutters. If we are using a photo from another source or photographer, credit is properly linked to their original source. We take photo credit very seriously, as photographers put their hearts into their work and it is very disheartening (as well as a violation of copyright) to use their work in any way without proper credit. If you are sharing a photo you find on Openvintageshutters.com, please make sure both Open Vintage Shutters as well as any other company whose work you are sharing along with the photographer are properly credited. Failure to properly credit the source is considered a Copyright Violation. I know this all sounds scary and confusing, but as long as you are honest and give credit where credit is due, there is nothing to worry about!

There is plenty of love to spread around, so let’s go with that, ok?
