Image Licensing Explained
Under the Copyright Designs & Patents Act 1988 copyright in images is vested with the author who licences the work to their client to enable them to publish the work for the purposes of the commission. When approaching a photographer with a possible commission, it is important that you have a clear idea of the media, countries and length of time for which you want to use the images. The photographer's fee usually includes the first use of the image/s, but extended duration of use, media and territories can affect this fee. The necessity of obtaining a ‘buyout’ (all uses licence) from the photographer will not normally be necessary, as frequently all of the intended usages will be included in the Initial Licence.
