FAQ
What is a photography licensing agreement?
It is a contract that gives a client permission to use photos under stated terms while the photographer may retain copyright.
Does a photo license transfer ownership?
Usually no. A license grants usage rights, while copyright transfer requires specific assignment language.
Why define permitted uses?
Permitted uses prevent confusion about whether images can be used in ads, print, social media, email, or resale.
