Choose a photograph

Every photograph on the place pages that can be licensed without a release. Photographs with recognisable people are editorial only; email for those. Previews are watermarked, the delivered file is not.

What every tier includes

  1. A non-exclusive, worldwide license that does not expire. The photographer keeps the copyright and may license the same photograph to others.
  2. The clean full-resolution JPEG, as shot on a Nikon, usually 6,000 pixels on the long side.
  3. A written license as a text file: your name, the file, the tier, the date and the terms.
  4. Cropping, colour adjustment and combining with text are fine. Defamatory use or implied endorsement is not.
  5. You may hand the file to a printer, designer or agency working for you, for that use only.
  6. No use for training machine-learning models.

Need something outside these tiers, exclusivity, or a set of ten for one project? Email ben@purplelink.llc with the file names and the use, and you will get a quote the same day. Payment is handled by Stripe; Purplelink never sees your card.
