About Photo and Crochet 50 cents a pic

How It All Started

Photo and Crochet was born in 2008 as a heartfelt family website created by Dieter and Ratchanee. Dieter captured the stunning beauty of the Maltese Islands, both above and below the sea, while Ratchanee displayed her delicate hand-crocheted art. Though Ratchanee is no longer actively creating, her past work is still proudly showcased. Dieter, on the other hand, continues his passion for photography, especially underwater imagery.

As interest in the website grew, so did requests for image downloads and licensing. We began offering free downloads for personal use, and eventually introduced options for commercial and other non-personal purposes for a modest fee.

Image Use & Licensing

Our image library primarily features scenes from Malta and its marine environment. Please assess each image carefully before downloading, as quality varies depending on intent, some serve more illustrative purposes than being of high resolution.

Free downloads are watermarked and resized. Paid downloads are delivered in original, full-resolution format without watermarks.

All images are uploaded with respect and due diligence. Should you believe any image infringes on rights or requires additional permissions, contact us using the website form with “copyright” in the subject line.
