Licensing

My philosophy that photography is meant to be seen and not hoarded. My licensing policies balance the costs that go into creating my images with the desire to share my photography.
 
Ed O’Keeffe Photography allows the use of Ed’s images in two ways:

Creative Commons License

With Creative Commons you are free to:
  • Share: Copy, Distribute, and Transmit the image
  • Remix: Create Derivative works of the image
Under these conditions:
  • Attribution: Attribution to Ed O’Keeffe Photography must be made along with the image.
  • Non-Commercial: The image must not be used for commercial purposes under any circumstances. For clarity on what defines commercial use, see the Sample Accepted Uses below.

Examples of accepted use of the Creative Commons License

  • An individual using an image as a desktop background for the computer screen.

License To Copyright

Commercial Use of images online or offline is defined broadly. The determination of commercial or non-commercial use is based on the context. The determination isn’t based on the tax-filing status of the entity using the image. Nor on whether a financial transaction takes place.
 
Commercial use of images is only allowed if granted by Ed O’Keeffe Photography. All commercial uses will incur a licensing fee. Fees are based on the following:
  • Media – print, web, television, etc.
  • Distribution Size – number of copies printed, viewing audience size, exposure (regional, national, international)
  • Length of use
  • Prominence of display – 1/4 page, full page, spread, front cover, back cover, home page (online), etc.
For all licensing inquiries contact me. I will reply to your message within 24 hours.
