The factors that determine licensing fees
:: Stock Photo Licensing Info ::
All Outsight Photography images are licensed as rights-managed. What this means is that fees are determined by the usage, not by the size of a file. Small use, smaller fee, large use, larger fee. Unlike other licensing schemes with a set fee, you only pay for what you need. Because usage history is known for each image, only rights-managed licensing allows for exclusivity provisions for those times you need to be sure the same image will not appear in a competitor's products or advertising campaign.
The primary factor that determines the fee is the 'exposure' the image will receive. In other words, how big, how often, for how long and by how many people will the photo be seen. For example, a photo used inside a national monthly magazine has less 'exposure' than the same photo used on the cover. This would be less 'exposure' than when used on the home page of a large international corporation's web site for one year.
Other factors that affect the licensing fee are the type of usage itself (editorial, corporate, advertising, retail product) as well as any exclusivity required (i.e., a calendar publisher would not want the same photo to appear in competitor's calendars in the same year.)
