IMPORTANT: Unless you are a registered charity, please do not ask if you may use my image(s) for free. There are plenty of photographers who offer work with a Creative Commons license, but I am not one of them. Here's a great write-up that helps explain why professional photographers cannot work for free.

Unauthorized use of my images (even where it includes my logo and/or watermark and/or cites full credit) is a copyright infringement, which I take very seriously. The images I create are automatically my property the moment I make them with my camera. Printing and licensing my images for use is how I make my livelihood. Using, copying, distributing and manipulating my images without my authorization is essentially theft and has a great impact on my livelihood.

Unless you are a registered charity, please do not ask if you may use my image(s) for free. There are plenty of photographers who offer work with a Creative Commons license, but I am not one of them. Here's a great write-up that helps explain why professional photographers cannot work for free.

The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines copyright as "the exclusive legal right to reproduce, publish, sell, or distribute the matter and form of something (as a literary, musical, or artistic work)." Copyright is automatic upon the creation of an image, so even if it is not stated, it is protected, meaning the artist is the only one legally able to distribute, reproduce, or sell the image. Any unauthorized use - even if accompanied by a credit to the artist or displaying the artist's watermark - is a copyright infringement. Copyright infringement is the specific term used to state that it is illegal. The appearance or posting of an image on the Internet does not mean it is fair game or free to use. Those seeking images to use for free, must look for artists who have granted a Creative Commons license to use the image as they wish (often still with terms attached) and ensure the artist has specifically stated a given image carries such a license. It is extremely important to secure licensing prior to using images to avoid legal ramifications. Even when an artist has granted a license to use an image - for broad or specific purposes - the artist maintains ownership of the image and copyright unless it is clearly stated in the terms of agreement that those are sold to the purchaser. It is also important to note that an image may not be manipulated beyond recognition as a way to get around image licensing. In order for the image - or even the likeness of the image, such as an artist's rendering - to be used, permission must be granted by the copyright owner first. I have seen a lot of excuses over the years and there are a great deal of people who do not understand copyright and make assumptions based on speculation or myth. Simply put, if you did not create the image, you do not own the image, and you cannot use it without permission.

I like to put it this way: you see a car that you do not own. It's in plain sight for anyone walking or driving by to see. Regardless of whether the car is locked or unlocked, and regardless of where it's parked - on a public street, in a private driveway etc. - if you do not own it, you cannot legally use it without the permission of the owner. Substitute the car for any piece of property. Images - film negatives, digital files, prints... - are all property. Yes, theft happens. Whether the property is large or small in size, of high or low value, taking someone's property without permission is theft and against the law.

I offer photographic prints on luster paper and gallery wrap canvas through the website, but also offer metallic photographic prints, metal (printed on metal as opposed to metallic photo paper), and acrylic by custom order. Please contact me for a customized quote.

Essentially, canvas prints are my images printed on canvas. The canvas is wrapped around a wooden frame, but only the canvas is visible - the wood is behind it. Canvas prints are ready to hang, though you can add a float frame around them if you wish.

Prints are my images printed on photo paper - the traditional medium for photographs. I choose luster paper to show the richness of the image's tones in a more matte finish that doesn't show fingerprints etc. Prints are not ready to hang. Prints must be framed before they can be displayed.
