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.

Generated from our catalog & community — verify before relying on it.
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.
