Commercial Photography

What you’re asking is if you can use your photos for commercial purposes.  Yes you can but you need to negotiate commercial use with us.  It’s not free.

Since I do landscape photography, you can commission any landscape, nature, or even outdoor setting (think farms, etc.) photo you wish.  However, animals are unpredictable so I won’t do a commissioned wild animal photo.

Cost depends upon several factors.  Travel is a big factor as is how many photos you want commissioned.  Intended use: how, when, where, etc., is also a big factor.  Check this article out for more details.

We set up a payment through Stripe.  It’s common for me to ask for 50% of the overall cost upfront.  It helps cover my cost of getting the photo (travel, lodgings, etc.).

When I feel I have a portion of a commission done, I upload it to my client preview gallery and email you.  You can check it out there and give feedback too.

Time to completion can vary dramatically.  If you want a spring photo in January (for example), it’ll be a while until completion.  If you want such in April, chances are much better for a quick turnaround.  Re-shoots will always make a project take longer.

We should get your photos sorted and processed within a week of taking them.  The more photos we need to take, the longer it will take to sort and process.  Multiple shoots will require more time to process and deliver.

We offer digital transfer of files (JPEG format) for our projects as well as printing services.  We can let you download high-resolution (not full) versions from our preview gallery or we can email you the photos if they are small enough (less than 25MB).  If not, we can mail you a flash drive with full resolution versions of your photos (no watermarks).

Any and all returns (including commissioned photos for commercial or private use) are subject to our returns policy.

For information on what can be returned and how to return it, check out the full policy here.

We retain ownership of the copyright on all our photos unless you negotiate for a copyright ownership transfer.  That’s not free.  More info here.

Yes! Several photos displayed on our website are actual images delivered to our clients. Every client receives the same attention to detail and professionalism which we have built our reputation on. If we accept your project, you can rest assured your photos will look just as good as what you have seen here.
