FAQ
How do I license an image?
To license an image, follow the link to an image and click on the “Add to Cart” button just above the image. Under the “Downloads” tab, select the license best suited to your use of the image and you will be provided with a quote. From here you can add the image to your cart. Once the terms are agreed to and the fee is paid, the image will be made available for download.
What format and resolution will I get?
Images as showcased on this site are compressed to optimize site performance. Upon purchase of a license or ordering of prints, the original watermark-free hi-resolution image (usually 4288 x 2848 pixels) at 300dpi will be provided respectively used. When an image is purchased, hi-res JPEG files are delivered by default. Other formats, like tiff, can however be delivered upon request.
What kind of licensing schemes do you offer for your images?
Currently, I offer personal use licenses as well as commercial use rights managed licenses for photographs.
Personal Use licenses are appropriate for images you’d like to for their personal use, which may include, but is not limited to, using the image for at-home printing, screensaver slideshows, wedding announcements, online personal profiles, etc. A Personal Use license, however, prohibits you from using the image for anything but strictly personal or limited educational use (e.g. school projects or single-classroom education).
A Rights Managed license means that an image is priced and purchased for a specific explicit purpose for a set period of time. For example, licensing an image for editorial publication at 1/2 page size on an inside page of a U.S. national magazine with a circulation of 100,000 is considered a specific purpose. An appropriate Rights Managed fee will be determined based on that usage.

A lightbox allows you to store images that you want to keep track of in a personalized repository. You can add any image to your lightbox, regardless of whether it is for sale. You can also make comments in your lightbox, if for example, you are researching images for a project. You can share the lightbox with other users by providing an e-mail address. Lightboxes are a great way to collaborate with others when discussing a set of images. You must create a free account to save your lightbox.
