Sidestone Image Licensing
In collaboration with a select group of experimental archaeologists, Sidestone Press offers a unique image licensing service. The focus of our images lies on (pre)historic objects and techniques. They include many series of detailed images showcasing ancient technology in use.

About our images
All photos are available as high-quality JPG files or RAW image files (c. 6000×4000px). They feature archaeological replicas being produced and used. Objects in action. These images are made in collaboration with experimental archaeologists Diederik Pomstra and Dorothee Olthof, with photography by Karsten Wentink. We will continually add more photos to our catalogue.
In addition to licensing existing photographs you can also contact us to commission new photos of objects or techniques that are not yet in our catalogue. Feel free to reach out to see what we can do.
Credits
In the portfolio image descriptions, both the craftspersons and the photographer are mentioned. These should be mentioned in the image credits.
