Royalty-Free Editorial Use Image Licence
Overview
A royalty-free right to use the purchased image for editorial use only.
Details
“Editorial Use” means that an image is used as a descriptive visual reference – an example of a specific person, place, thing or event.
An Editorial Use Only image can be used:
- in a newspaper or magazine article
- on a blog, social media or website for descriptive purposes
- in a non-commercial presentation
Example: You are giving a presentation about your exhibition stand at an event held at Olympia London so you download a photograph of the Olympia building to give context about where the event was held. This is acceptable use of Editorial Use Only.
Example: You are publishing a blog article about festivals. You can find images on Graham-Cumming Photography of brands and people discussed in the article and use them to illustrate your article.
An Editorial Use Only image cannot be used:
- in any kind of advertising or promotional material.
- in the creation of items or products for resale (e.g., prints, posters, mugs, stationery, calendars, electronic templates, etc.).
- for any ‘advertorial’ purposes (ie: in sections or supplements in relation to which you receive or pay a fee)
Example: Your company is a modelling agency. You download an image of a model from Graham-Cumming Photography and have a graphic designer use the image on the front of your brochure. You also use this image in an email advertising campaign. This is not acceptable Editorial Use.
