Researchers at the University of Leuven in Belgium are building a comprehensive database of images that evoke specific emotions. The project, hosted on the Pictures With Feeling website, seeks high‑quality photographs that span the full valence‑arousal spectrum—from calm neutrality to intense excitement, and from serene joy to profound sadness.
As a contributor, your images will be used exclusively for academic research. Each photo will be credited with your name, and you may add any metadata you wish. No commercial use is intended, and privacy is respected throughout the process.
By sharing your work, you help psychologists better understand how visual stimuli influence mood and affect. While this contribution won’t bring fame or profit, it will support fundamental science and deepen our collective knowledge of human emotion.
