Affiliate Disclosure

Hi. Dan Carr here from Shutter Muse.

Transparency on the web is essential. Shutter Muse takes part in several affiliate referral programs. Many of the outbound links on this website are affiliate links, and sometimes photos and other material, too, such as banner ads. We may receive a small commission if you click one of those links and go on to purchase a product or service, but the price is the same for you. I am very picky about the products and services promoted on this site through these affiliate programs, and I only promote those that I have investigated and deemed valuable to our readers.

As an Amazon Associate, Shutter Muse earns from qualifying purchases.

Other examples of affiliate programs that we take part are B&H Photo, Moment, Adorama, ProMediaGear, Tragopan, Acratech, WANDRD, Peak Design, Think Tank Photo, MindShift Gear, Skylum Software, On1 Software, Photologo, Impact Radius, Topaz Labs, Flex Offers, Elegant Themes, Bluehost, Wotancraft, Gura Gear, F-Stop Gear, Wise, Shareasale, Awin and Pepperjam. This list should be taken as sampling and not a definitive list. If you have any concerns about clicking affiliate links, it’s safest to assume that all links to products or services are affiliate links.

It’s simple. Running a popular website costs thousands of dollars a month just for the services to keep it online, let alone for anyone’s time to create content. Affiliate programs do not cost our readers any money, but the small commissions, usually just a few per cent, add up and help us keep the lights on. In fact, in some cases, the affiliate links save our readers money as we have negotiated discounts when they are used.

My best,

Dan Carr – Shutter Muse Founder
