Windows 8

Windows 8 is an operating system released by Microsoft in 2012.

Wallpapers
Little is known about the origins of 8's wallpapers, compared to previous versions where there are several blog posts and articles about the wallpaper selection. It is most likely they were taken by professional photographers or Microsoft employees, as no stock photo links have been found. In fact, one of them is known to have been taken by a Microsoft employee.

The default wallpaper is img0. Much unlike Bliss or 7's img0, nothing is known to the public about its origins. The Flowers theme would later reappear in 8.1 and 10.

Lock Screen Wallpapers
8 came with a few built-in lock screen wallpapers, some of which came from Getty Images, while the others were created by Microsoft themselves, including graphic designer Marius Bauer. Most of these would reappear in 8.1.
