Commission Photography License
Commissioned pictures are licensed for use in two main ways. First way is a PR licence, which covers first use by newspapers or magazines of the images sent out with press releases. PR commissions are normally charged a higher rate to cover potentially numerous publication of the images.

Second way is for first British and Irish publication in an internal newsletter, magazine or annual report. There after any re-use is by reproduction fee per use.

There are two ways of charging for website license. First is to give a licence for 12 months at the time of the commissioning with 50 per cent more on the commission fee to cover the online use. The second way is to charge a repro licence on a monthly basis for as long as the picture remains on line. The reason for the additional charges for Website use is the picture is published electronically as a digital image and often copied and reproduced by people unlawfully.
