Licensing

Licensing means buying the right to use a photograph — not the photograph itself. I remain the author and copyright holder, and you receive a clearly defined permission: what you may use the image for, for how long, where, and whether anyone else may use it too.

What you receive: a high-resolution JPEG file to download. Nothing is printed, packed or shipped — you have the photograph printed yourself, within the limits of your licence.

How it works

  1. Open the photograph you want and choose the licence that matches your use.
  2. Pay by card. The price shown is the price you pay — nothing is added at checkout.
  3. Your download link appears straight away, and arrives by email together with your written licence — keep that one, it is your proof of the right to use the image.
  4. The link stays valid for 7 days and for 5 downloads. Save the file somewhere safe; your licence itself does not expire.

Every licence is granted under the same license terms. If your intended use does not fit any of the options above — a territory, a duration, an exclusive right — describe it and it will be arranged directly.
