What license do I need?
In order to use one of my images you need a license (unlicensed use constitutes copyright infringement). With a license you do not own the file, but you have the right to use it. The license only covers a specific use. Any additional usage requires the purchase of an additional license. I retain the copyright on all the images I produce, more details on photography copyright via the jump.

Prices
The price will depend on how, where and for how long you intend to use the image, factors like media, size, duration, placement, geographic distribution, exclusivity, etc.

Royalty-free licensing of my images is not available.

Please get in touch with the URL where the image(s) are located and the details of the planned usage and I will get back to you with a quote.

Examples include newspapers, magazines, editorial broadcasts, non-commercial websites, blogs and social media posts illustrating matters of public interest. Commercial, promotional, advertorial or endorsement purposes are not covered by editorial usage licenses.

If required I can provide a watermarked version of the chosen image for internal testing purposes only.
