Licensing
Using a
photograph.
Photographs from this archive can be licensed for editorial and commercial use. What is possible depends on the rights held for each frame, so enquiries are answered one photograph at a time.
Typical uses
- EditorialMagazines, newspapers, books, documentary and journalistic contexts.
- HospitalityHotels, restaurants and venues, in print and on their own sites.
- CommercialCampaigns, brand and product contexts, where the necessary releases exist.
- DigitalWebsites, applications, and screen-based environments.
- Print and exhibitionInteriors, exhibitions, and published photographic work.
How rights are handled
Copyright in every photograph stays with the photographer. A licence grants a defined use for a defined time — it does not transfer ownership of the image.
Photographs containing identifiable people, private property, artwork or trademarks carry third-party rights beyond the photographer's copyright. Where the necessary releases are not held, a frame can still be licensed for editorial use but not for commercial use. This is assessed frame by frame, never assumed.
If a photograph cannot be cleared for the use you have in mind, you will be told so directly. Nothing here is offered as pre-cleared stock.
How an enquiry works
- 01Identify the photograph. Every frame in the archive carries a reference number — the three digits shown beneath it. Opening a photograph and choosing Enquire about licensing carries that reference to this page for you.
- 02Describe the use: where it will appear, in which territory, for how long, and roughly at what scale.
- 03Rights are checked for that specific frame and that specific use.
- 04You get an answer, a fee and a licence. Or a no, which arrives just as quickly.
