Copyright / Fair Use

We ask our clients and web visitors to respect the U.S. copyright laws. Once an image is created, the photographer automatically copyrights it. Our business consists of creating and selling reproductions of our images. To use images from this website, meaning to reproduce, copy, print, modify, display, perform or distribute them, you need to obtain a copyright release from us. Fees apply depending on usage.

If you think of “fairly using” photos from this website for educational, personal, non-profit or commentary use, we want to be notified no matter what; because we care. We want to know where our photos go, who is using them and for what, even if we were to waive charges. Any removal of our copyright symbol from an image is considered willful infringement on our copyright.
