COPYRIGHT FOR CLIENTS
In the same way that musicians control who can reproduce their music, photographers control who can reproduce their images. Authors of original works own the copyright in their work and this is enshrined in legislation – the Copyright Designs & Patents Act 1988 – more information on copyright ownership can be found at www.patent.gov.uk
Shops, hairdressers, pubs etc. All need licenses to play music - photographers, like musicians, own the copyright in their work and issue licenses to enable people to reproduce their images. Therefore, it is important that you discuss your commission and fully brief your photographer, including details about where and how you would like to use the images.
Q: What does "Commercial Usage" mean?
A: Commercial use means you're using the content for your own (or your client's or company's) benefit. If an item is marked Commercial, you can use it for advertising, promotions, merchandising, or to monetize a business, product, or service.
Q: What does "Editorial Usage" mean?
A: It is suitable for anything that isn't directly selling something. Instead, it informs, educates, or entertains viewers. You can use Editorial content to portray people, places, things, and events for things like news outlets and documentaries.
Q: I want to use an Editorial clip in my commercial project. Can I do that?
A: Yes—if appropriately licensed! We can help you get editorial clips cleared for commercial productions and indemnify them based on your specific needs. To discuss editorial content for commercial use options, contact us.
