You can license and use any of the photos I publish here on my website, at Flickr or at Alamy. You can also order prints in just about any finish and size you want, or you can get just the photo in electronic format and print it as desired.

You can also commission me to photograph products and locations or for portrait work. Here’s what you need to do:

To license specific photos

Select the photos you need (if you’ve already located a photo elsewhere, search for it by file name, i.e. RPOP-2010-12-1001) and contact me to purchase the right license (commercial or personal use). The payment is made online and so is the delivery. This whole process can happen in a few hours or less if I’m not traveling and you don’t have a lot of red tape to go through on your end. Or simply go to my Alamy collection, select the photo you want and get it directly from them.

Purchase prints

Select a photo and contact me to let me know what size and print material you’d like. I can arrange to have the photos printed on canvas and even have them framed and enclosed behind glare-resistant glass. Please realize this process will happen remotely: I will edit the photo for print, send it electronically to a print lab, where it will be printed and mailed off to you. I won’t be able to see the final product, so unless you tell me right away whether or not you’re happy with how things came out, I won’t know and I won’t be able to do anything about it.
