Stock Photography

License fees

All of my photos are available as Rights Managed stock photos. Fees for Rights Managed photos depend on how photos are used, and are based on industry standard guidelines, including the type of usage (e.g., advertising vs. editorial), image size, press run/circulation, and duration of license. Because the use of photos can vary greatly, licensing fees are determined on an individual basis.

My prices are based in part on FotoQuote Pro software, an industry standard in pricing photography, and are very competitive with the major stock agencies.

Price tables

Despite the case-by-case nature of licensing images, there are some general trends that can give you an idea how much a license may cost. Scroll down to find the most appropriate match.

  • The prices below are printed as a guide only, based on circulation and size. They do not represent fixed prices, and should not be interpreted as quotes.
  • Prices reflect national distribution. Fees for smaller or larger distributions will vary accordingly.
  • The prices for some categories reflect specific uses (e.g., advertising in a magazine), and are not fully representative of that category.
  • Page size refers to the size of the image relative to the layout. For example, if you have a ½ page magazine ad, and the photo takes up ½ of the layout, the size is ½ page, not ¼ page.
  • I offer discounts for licensing multiple images, and for renewing licenses beyond the original license duration.
