If you want to use my work...

I often get notes and messages from people asking to use my work in one form or another.  I figured I'd put together a journal post to link to the bottom of each deviation that answers this.

If you want to use one of my images for inspiration for a drawing or painting etc:  go right ahead, the only thing I'd ask is if you post the finished work here you link to the original.

As for using my work directly in graphic designs, digital art, photo manipulations etc:  For this I sell my work as rf stock for only a few dollars a license.  You can either purchase the image from one of my agencies (which I'll link to after this paragraph) or you can send me US$10 for one image and $5 each image thereafter (on the one order) by paypal (I have a merchant account accepting credit cards) and I'll send you the full res image(s) via email as soon as I get the payment notification.  This will almost always be within 24hrs and normally sooner, just so long as you go straight through paypal, sometimes I may not check my notes here for a while.  Please include a message with the paypal payment including a LINK to the required image and not just the title, as I sometimes name my images differently on different sites, names for images really don't mean that much to me.

(If you don't have a paypal account just send me an email with your request and I can email you back a payment request that you can pay via credit card)

Conditions etc:

Please note that even with the rf license purchase there are limits to what you can do with the images.  I am only selling a license to USE the image, not to resell it either by selling it mostly unaltered as a print/coffee mug etc or using it in a design you then resell as stock yourself.  Most other uses are fine though, including most sorts of commercial publishing or advertising etc  The other restriction is if the shot contains a model that he/she cannot be cast in a harmful light, ie please no using images of my models for a 0055 6969 add in the back of a sleazy magazine or for advertising STD medication.  If in doubt contact me and we can discuss it.

I have full legally binding model releases from almost all models I shoot and if I lack one for a model/person in a picture you request I'll be sure to let you know, along with how this effects how you can and can't use the image.  If you do require print re-sell rights that too can be arranged, albeit at a higher price point.

I hope to be able to help some of you out with the images you need.

Cheers,
