| description | Find and license stock imagery via the Unsplash connector (or other libraries) with proper attribution and commercial-use checks. Use when you need real photography rather than AI generation. |
stock-source
Real, licensable photos sourced and credited correctly.
Process
- Define the shot: subject, mood, orientation, colour, where it'll be used (web/print/social), commercial?
- Search via the Unsplash connector (or Pexels/Getty as needed). Shortlist a few that fit the direction.
- Check the license: Unsplash is free incl. commercial with conditions; some libraries require a paid
license for commercial use - confirm before client work.
- Record attribution ("Photo by X on Unsplash") even where not strictly required - the
license-guard
hook flags missing attribution.
- Download + name + optimize (hand to
asset-export).
Output
- The selected image(s) from the connector, the license/attribution, and the optimized export.
Guardrails
- Confirm commercial rights for client work; record source + license in the asset manifest.
- Don't present a photo as licensed if you haven't checked its terms.
