Commissioned work and licensing

If you need a specific image or have a specific idea that you would like to work on, you can hire me and one of my models to create a reference piece for you.

Please contact me if you have any questions, to get a quote on a commission or if you would like to license one of my pieces for commercial use. The costs of the commissioned shoot and licensing will depend on the use of the images and the requirements of creating them (modeling fee, location rental, accessories, etc).

All details must be negociated BEFORE any use of my images are allowed!

F.A.Q.

Question:
Why won't you let me use your photos?

Answer:
  • The agreement I have with my models (a lot of whom are also close friends) is that the photos will not be used or modified by someone other than myself or the model. I value the trust they have put in me to make sure that the portrayal of them or the concept we created together will remain under our control. If I gave permission to use the photos I lose part of that control and in a sense I violate the trust of my friends and creation partners and I will never accept doing that.
  • I feel that the images I create with the models are very personal... I and the model put a lot of ourselves in the work and I can't stand to see it modified, copied or used... When that happens I feel it is no longer as much mine and that I lose the part of myself I've put in the project and in the photo.

Question:
You used to permit certain uses of your photos, why did that change?

Answer:
Almost nobody respected the rules that I had tried to put in place (actually I think that most people didn't even bother to read them...) That being said, it's now very simple and no place for misunderstanding since there is only one basic rule; No use allowed...

Question:
Can I get a larger image / higher resolution image to use?

Answer:
No (unless you have purchased a commercial license or this is work commissionned by you...)

Question:
Can I use your photo for [fill in the blank]?

Answer:
No (Unless you are asking about commissioned work or purchasing a license!)
