Image Licensing

All photographs and other visual content created by EJH Photography remain protected by copyright. Purchasing, licensing or receiving an image does not transfer copyright or ownership.

EJH Photography offers different licenses depending on how the images will be used. If your intended use falls outside the licenses below, please contact me to discuss a suitable license.

Personal Use License

EJH Photography ("Content Provider") grants the licensee a perpetual, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the supplied image(s) or video(s) (collectively, "Media") for personal, non-commercial purposes.

Permitted use:

• Display on personal websites or private/personal social media accounts.
• Display on personal computers, phones and other devices.
• Making prints for personal use.
• Sharing with friends and family for non-commercial purposes.

Not permitted:

• Advertising, promotion or other commercial use.

• Providing the Media to third parties for their own commercial use.
• Making original or high-resolution files publicly available for download.

Title, copyright, ownership and all rights not expressly licensed remain exclusively with EJH Photography. The Media are provided "as is" and EJH Photography will not be liable for third-party claims or incidental, consequential or other damages arising from the licensee's use of the Media.

Commercial Use License

This license applies to individual photographs or other existing Media licensed separately from EJH Photography. EJH Photography grants the licensee a perpetual, non-exclusive, non-transferable, worldwide license to use the licensed Media for the agreed commercial purposes.

Permitted commercial use may include:

• Advertising and promotion.
• Company, organisation, artist or event websites.
• Commercial social media channels.
• Brochures, flyers and posters.
• Press releases and editorial publications.
• Magazines, books, newspapers and other printed publications.
• Presentations and digital publications.
• Video, broadcast and theatrical use.
• Physical commercial displays.

The supplied high-resolution files may be used to create appropriately sized versions for the agreed purposes.

Restrictions:

• The Media may not be resold, relicensed, sublicensed or transferred to another company or organisation without prior written permission.
• The Media may not be made available as downloadable original or high-resolution files.
• Use on merchandise or other products intended for resale is not included unless specifically licensed for that purpose.
• The Media may not be incorporated into a trademark, logo or service mark.
• The Media may not be altered in a way that materially misrepresents the subject or the work of EJH Photography.
• The Media may not be used in an unlawful, defamatory, obscene or deliberately misleading context.

A Commercial Use License applies only to the licensee and the agreed use. Use by sponsors, advertisers, brands, venues, labels or other third parties may require an additional license.

Title, copyright, ownership and all rights not expressly licensed remain with EJH Photography. The Media are provided "as is" and EJH Photography will not be liable for third-party claims or incidental, consequential or other damages arising from the licensee's use of the Media.

Commissioned Band Photography License

This license applies to photography commissioned directly from EJH Photography by a band, artist or their authorised representative, including live photography, promotional photography, backstage photography and tour photography.

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the commissioning band or artist receives a perpetual, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the delivered photographs for its own promotion.

Included promotional use:

• Official websites and social media channels of the band or artist.
• Artist profiles on streaming and music platforms.
• Electronic press kits (EPKs), press releases and media submissions.
• Concert and tour announcements.
• Flyers and posters promoting the band, artist or its performances.
• Newsletters and promotional presentations.
• Artwork accompanying interviews, reviews and editorial coverage.
• Promotional materials produced by the band's own management or booking agency on behalf of that band or artist.

The commissioning band or artist may supply delivered photographs to journalists, magazines, newspapers, blogs, venues or festivals when the images are provided specifically for editorial coverage or promotion of that band's or artist's appearance.

Third-party commercial use:

The standard Commissioned Band Photography License does not automatically grant independent commercial rights to third parties. Examples include sponsors, commercial brands, record labels using the photographs for their own corporate promotion, venues or festivals using the photographs in broader advertising, promoters using the photographs outside promotion of the commissioned artist or performance, merchandise companies, and other artists or organisations.

Those parties should contact EJH Photography for an additional Commercial Use License where required.

Merchandise, resale and product use:

Use of photographs on merchandise or products sold for profit is not included in the standard commissioned license. This includes, for example, T-shirts, prints or posters sold as merchandise, calendars, books and other products offered for sale. Album, EP or single artwork and other commercial product packaging should be agreed separately in writing before use.

Image files and editing:

• High-resolution files may be used by the commissioning band or artist for the permitted purposes above.
• Original supplied files may not be resold, sublicensed, uploaded to stock libraries or made publicly available for unrestricted download.
• Normal cropping, resizing and minor adjustments required for layout or social media use are permitted.
• Significant alterations, AI-generated modifications, compositing or edits that materially change the photograph require prior permission from EJH Photography.

Copyright and portfolio use:

Copyright, ownership and all rights not expressly licensed remain with EJH Photography. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, EJH Photography retains the right to use commissioned photographs for its own portfolio, website, social media, exhibitions, competitions and promotional purposes.

Additional Licensing

Uses outside these terms can usually be licensed separately. This may include advertising campaigns, sponsor use, commercial brand collaborations, merchandise, album or record artwork, large-scale print campaigns, resale of photographic prints, exclusive licensing or transfer of usage rights to another organisation.
