Image Licensing

I own the copyright to every photo I create. When you hire me, you receive a license to use the images, not ownership of them. Here’s what that license covers.

What your license includes

  • Use the images to market and advertise your brand and products in any print or digital medium.

  • Submit the images for editorial features and design awards about your own project, as long as I’m credited.

  • Your license never expires. It lasts in perpetuity.

  • The license is non-exclusive. I keep the right to use the images and to license them to others.

What it doesn’t include

  • Copyright stays with me.

  • You may not license, sell or share the images with any third party. That includes other firms on the project, product manufacturers and publications, except as described above for editorial features and awards.

  • You may crop the images to fit a layout, but you may not otherwise alter, edit or apply filters to them.

  • Publications and award programs may not use the images for any other purpose or share them with others.

Photo credit

When you post my images on Instagram, a clickable credit to @tjwphoto_ is required. Anywhere else, a credit to T.J. Wieczorek / TJW Photography is always appreciated.

Sharing images with project partners

If the architect, builder, owner or a vendor on your project wants to use the images, they need their own license. Project partners can share the cost of a shoot, which lowers the price for everyone. Ask me about it when you book.

Licensing a photo you found
