Photography licensing

Photography licensed for the way you plan to use it.

Tell Chris which image you have in mind and where it will appear. He'll confirm the appropriate permission, terms, format, and price for your project.

  • Online publications within an agreed size limit

Extended license

Provides broader quantities and may include certain resale, publication, broadcast, or software uses while remaining limited to one agreed project.

Common examples

  • Higher-volume promotional print quantities
  • Books, magazines, newspapers, newsletters, and broadcast use

Key restrictions

Licenses generally prohibit redistributing the source media, sublicensing or reselling the media itself, using an image as a logo or trademark, removing rights notices, enabling extraction or peer-to-peer distribution, and using editorial-only media commercially.

Unlawful, defamatory, obscene, misleading, or harmful use is also prohibited, and editorial use may require an adjacent credit. Final written terms control each license.

Before you use an image

Confirm the exact project with Chris.

Identify the image, intended use, channels, print quantity, term, territory, edit needs, and whether the final item will be resold.
