Image Licencing & Terms

All images on this website can be licensed for any personal, business or commercial purposes. In order to use any of my images you need a license (unlicensed use constitutes copyright infringement). Buying a license does not give you ownership of the file, but grants you the right to use it for the specific use(s) and time period covered by the licence. Any additional usage not covered by these terms requires the purchase of an additional license. Unless otherwise stated I, James Brunker, retain full ownership of the copyright and moral rights to the licensed image(s).

Prices: Licence price will depend on how, where and for how long you intend to use the image, taking into account factors like media, size, duration, placement, geographic distribution, exclusivity, etc. Standard Rights-Managed (RM) licence options are available for all images, to purchase a licence please use the Rights-Managed reproduction licence button next to individual images. If you have other specific licence requirements for your project(s) or need a large number of images please ask for a quotation, I shall be happy to discuss licence fees with you! My images are not normally available for Royalty-Free (RF) licensing but I am happy to discuss it for some images and projects, please get in touch with the details of the planned usage and images you wish to use.
