Magdeleine

Magdeleine is a beautifully designed free high-resolution photography website built around the core concept of manual curation. Its most distinctive feature is that it features just one new, hand-picked, high-quality photo each day, aiming to provide a daily dose of inspiration for designers and creatives.

Core Features

1. "Photo of the Day" Boutique Curation: This is the soul of Magdeleine. It rejects the overwhelming infinite scroll feed in favor of a "less is more" philosophy. A human editor selects one inspiring photo each day from numerous submissions, ensuring an exceptionally high artistic standard and quality.

2. Powerful Mood & Color Filtering: Magdeleine offers two very unique and practical ways to filter its collection:

   • Filter by Dominant Color: There is a color palette in the sidebar. You can click on any color to filter all photos that feature it as a dominant hue.
   • Filter by Tags/Categories: In addition to standard categories (Nature, People, City, etc.), you can also search for inspiration using tags that describe moods and atmospheres.

3. Clear Licensing Information: Photos on the site fall under two main license types, which are clearly indicated with an icon next to each photo:

   • CC0 (Public Domain): This means you are completely free to use the photo for any purpose with no attribution required.
   • Attribution Required: This means you can use the photo commercially, but you must give credit to the original author. This clear labeling allows users to quickly determine if an image fits their usage needs.
