What is a Copyright?
What's all this Copyright stuff you ask. Check out this page on copyrights and web, and the common myths about copyrights, and also the US government Copyright page.
Why do we care about this stuff
We get paid for the photos we produce and our performances. The way we get jobs is by people seeing our work, and contacting us. Not getting credit for something, means people don't know who to contact.
Use of content
If you would like to use any content from this site, then please do the following:
- Let us know the URL, or format they will be in
- add credit (on every page where content appears)
Depending on the usage, commercial or not we may ask for a fee. We do reserve the right to deny usage on sites/publications that we have a problem with.
If you would like to distinguish yourself from others or use my work without the credit line, then contact us and we can work out a donation to a mutually agreeable charitable organization.
Note: remember that most of the pictures of people are not model-released. Advertising usage of photos (e.g., brochures, catalogs, print ads) is very different from editorial usage of photos (e.g., newspaper and magazine articles, books). You cannot use pictures in advertising (e.g., an on-line product brochure or anything else that is selling) without getting a model release from any person whose image is recognizable in the photo. You might also have problems if an image contains a recognizable physical property, e.g., Disneyland. One of the reasons advertisers pay $1000+ for images from stock agencies is that those agencies have generally already gotten the relevant releases.
