Image license and credits

Answer first

What kind of images does this site use?

Most of what you see on this site is original design work: the shop-drawing motif, the I-beam and blueprint graphics, the wordmark, diagrams, and social cards. Those are brand graphics owned by TMG. A small number of atmospheric photographs also appear in credibility sections. Each one is licensed stock, converted into our duotone treatment so it reads as a material and craft motif rather than a documentary photograph of a specific job.

Treated stock photography

The photographic textures on pages such as data centers, mobile and field welding, shop capabilities, structural steel, safety, and careers begin as royalty-free stock images licensed for commercial use through Unsplash, Pexels, or Envato Elements. We then modify them substantially: cropping, desaturating, and recoloring them into the navy-to-chrome duotone that matches the rest of the site.

• Sources: Unsplash, Pexels, and Envato Elements, under each provider's royalty-free commercial license.
• Modification: every photograph is recolored and treated, so the on-site version is a derivative work.
• Honesty: treated stock is used as a generic material and capability motif. It is never presented as a specific, named TMG project.
• We do not resell or redistribute these images as stock.
