Permission to use photographs does not constitute a transfer of copyright or ownership. Any permission granted is limited to the purposes, platforms, and duration agreed at the time of supply.
Permitted use
Unless otherwise agreed, photographs supplied for a specific project or organisation may be used for associated publicity, editorial coverage, promotional materials, websites, and social media.
Images may be resized, compressed, and cropped proportionately where necessary to accommodate different publication formats, provided their original creative integrity is maintained.
Alterations and manipulation
Photographs must not be substantially altered, manipulated, or otherwise modified without prior written permission.
This includes, but is not limited to, compositional changes, the addition or removal of subjects or objects, artificial background replacement, and alterations that materially change the original appearance or intent of the photograph.
Generative AI
The use of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) tools to process, manipulate, recreate, extend, or generate derivative versions of supplied photographs is strictly prohibited without the photographer's prior written consent.
This restriction includes uploading photographs to generative AI platforms for image-to-image generation, AI-assisted retouching, inpainting, outpainting, or other forms of generative modification.
Photographs must not be submitted to AI training datasets or used to train, fine-tune, or otherwise develop generative models without explicit permission.
Copyright and attribution
Wherever reasonably practicable, photographs should be credited.
The photographer retains the right to be identified as the creator of their work and to object to derogatory treatment or alterations that could adversely affect their professional reputation.
Further permissions
Any use outside the scope of the original agreement, including additional commercial applications, substantial alterations, or sublicensing to third parties, requires prior written permission.
These guidelines apply regardless of whether photographs have been supplied commercially, on a voluntary basis, or without charge.
