Guide
Some clients find the concept of copyright and licensing quite confusing. This page is aimed at helping clients who may be struggling with this area of commissioning a photographer.
Copyright is about who owns the images.
Licensing is about who has the right to reproduce the images.
A licence can be designed to fit a clients needs. It will set out what type of publications the photographs can be used in, under what circumstances, where in the world they can be used and the length of time this agreement between photographer and client lasts.
If the client finds they need to use the photographs in a way that is not covered by the licence or that they need to use them after the period of the license has run out, they need to contact the photographer to negotiate further use at an extra cost.
