Image Licensing and Copyright

What does an image license through me include?

While maintaining the copyright of my images, I provide my clients with a license for:

• usage on client social media platforms, and the client’s website and their EDMs

• usage in web and print advertisements

• printing in client-published works such as brochures, business cards, booklets, etc.

The limitations and exceptions:

• Large format outside publications are restricted. eg billboards, bus stop ads

• any third party (not the client) requests to use the images must be authorised by me as image licensing fees may apply to the third party

• any PR opportunities through national printed publications must be authorised by me, as the larger publication houses are in a position to pay photographers for image licensing

• small local publications or digital publications are OK to share images with as I accept that they do not have a budget to pay for images.

• All limitations can be negotiated and if so often will include an additional fee.
  
  
  

  “Image licensing refers to the practice of selling a licence to use your image in a specific way, rather than selling your photo outright to a buyer. It is the industry-standard method for selling photos for editorial, commercial and advertising use, as well as wall art in the form of a personal licence.”
