COMMERCIAL & LICENSING

Professional photography is not just about creating images—it’s about how those images are used.

This page outlines how image usage, licensing, and commercial rights are handled at Jamie Goode Studios to ensure clarity, consistency, and protection for both the client and the creative work.

📸 IMAGE OWNERSHIP

All images created by Jamie Goode Studios remain the intellectual property and copyright of the Photographer.

Clients are granted a license to use the images, not ownership of the images themselves.

🔑 INCLUDED USAGE

Most sessions include a standard usage license, which allows for:

  • Personal branding
  • Business marketing
  • Social media use
  • Website content
  • Press kits and promotional materials

This covers the majority of standard uses for individuals, entrepreneurs, and small businesses.

📈 COMMERCIAL USAGE

Commercial usage extends beyond standard branding and includes:

  • Paid advertising campaigns
  • Product endorsements
  • Merchandise or resale
  • Large-scale marketing distribution
  • Third-party brand partnerships

These uses may require extended licensing and additional fees, depending on the scope, reach, and duration of use.

🧾 LICENSING STRUCTURE

Commercial licensing is based on:

  • Usage type (branding vs advertising vs product)
  • Distribution (local, regional, national)
  • Duration (short-term campaign vs ongoing use)
  • Exclusivity (if applicable)

Custom licensing quotes are provided for projects that fall outside standard usage.

🚫 IMAGE ALTERATION

To maintain the integrity of the work and brand consistency:

  • Images may not be altered, filtered, or re-edited
  • Cropping for platform formatting is allowed
  • Any additional edits must be requested through the studio

🏷️ IMAGE CREDIT

When applicable, credit is appreciated and may be required for:

  • Editorial features
  • Social media posts
  • Published work

Proper credit: Jamie Goode Studios

🤝 THIRD-PARTY USE

Images may not be transferred, sold, or given to third parties (brands, vendors, publications, etc.) without written permission and proper licensing.

📂 RAW FILES

RAW or unedited files are not included and are not available for purchase.

Final delivered images represent the completed creative work of the studio.

  • You are legally protected in how your images are used
  • The creative work is used in alignment with your brand
  • Usage remains clear, professional, and consistent across platforms
