Image Licenses and Pricing — License Photos for Your Projects
Interested in licensing a photo for your own project? My photos have been licensed worldwide for a wide range of applications, including magazines, travel guides, calenders, puzzles, TV broadcasts, wall displays, social media, websites, and tourism boards.
To acquire a license, please follow these steps:
- In the portfolio section, which is sorted by country and by city, find the photos that you are interested in
- Note the image ID of each photo — click on the photo, which opens a page with additional information including the image ID
- Contact me with your license requirements and photos you are interested in (image IDs are sufficient). I will check the license availability and send you a non-binding price offer via email.
Need the maximum (original) pixel resolution for your usage? You can find it in the portfolio section — click on a photo to open the page with additional information, which also contains the maximum available pixel resolution.
License prices
License prices are based on the usual market prices in Germany, which are published by the MFM (Federal Association of Professional Image Providers in Germany). Below are prices for some standard licenses, based on following conditions:
- No exclusivity
- No sublicensing to third parties
- License duration 3 years (50 % surcharge for each further 3 years, beyond that by agreement), shorter terms are generally not offered due to increased administrative effort
- Prices apply to low to medium reach usages (additional surcharge for increased reach, e.g. website/social media of a globally known brand, magazine with a high reach, billboard in the center of a big city)
- Changes to the photo allowed, e.g. overlaying of own text and graphics
- Author credit required (if practically feasible - e.g. not necessary on a small magnet)
