I have permission from a friend to use their photo on a book cover, but they do not want their real name published. I would normally include a credit on the book’s copyright page. What is the proper way to handle the credit while respecting their wish to stay anonymous?

Keep it simple.

I thank an anonymous photographer for permission to use the photo on the cover of this book.

If the photographer does not want to be named, simply don’t publish their real name. A standard, appropriate credit can be as simple as:

  • “Reproduced with permission.”
  • “Photo used with permission of an anonymous photographer.”

If they want some identification without using their real name, you could use a pseudonym, alias, or nickname they approve. The key is to follow the permission they granted and respect how they want to be credited, if at all.
