<\/p>\n

First of all, thank you so much for your interest in my creative work. I am delighted you want to use my work in your project. Licensing is a standard process that basically allows you to use or ‘rent’ photography or artwork.<\/p>\n

When you license photos or any creative product, you are entering into an agreement that outlines exactly how the images\/creative can be used\u2014and for how long. Licensing protects the creative’s work from being used in a way they did not agree to (infringement of copyright) and also ensures the creative is paid for their craft and for providing a service or product and\/or helping you grow your business. <\/p>\n

I endeavour to look at each request on a project-by-project basis (no two projects are the same) which is why it’s not helpful to provide generic ball park figures here. I can, however, share some generic industry standards. If you are an individual, a small business<\/span> or sole trader<\/span>, we may be able to discuss additional contra-deals, or special payment terms, if budget is an issue (and assuming we are a good fit) so do reach out to discuss your project further. <\/p>\n

It’s common practice for Greeting Card publishers, manufacturers, SMEs, or corporates to use quality artwork, illustrators, and photography across a range of products and channels to promote and grow their business. If you work in an Editorial team or in any Marcomms department, you will already be familiar with the process and costs involved, but if this is the first time you’ve contemplated approaching a photographer, illustrator, designer – someone like myself – then these Guidelines are for you.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The first thing to state upfront is all projects and prices are scalable – but the ‘process’ is generally the process. This is a very basic guide and does not cover ALL scenarios\/ environments but it will give you a basic grounding.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

So let’s get started.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Best practice dictates there are FOUR key elements to a Licensing Agreement. I say there are FIVE <\/span>because people forget the most important element, which is … drumroll … Copyright! The very reason we have Licensing Agreements at all.<\/p>\n
