With just a few exceptions the majority of photos on this blog are hosted by Flickr and are published either under a Creative Commons Attribution Non-Commercial No-Derivatives licence or as “all rights reserved“.

Essentially I don’t object to anyone using my pics for non-profit purposes providing I get a credit (a visible text link in the form “photo by fotdmike” or “photo by mike langridge” linking to this blog [www.fotdmike.com] or my Flickr page [www.flickr.com/photos/fotdmike/] is sufficient).

In special circumstances I may be prepared to make available the HiRes original size (as converted from the original RAW file) JPEG for reproduction. Application should be made using the form below outlining intended usage. (Under no circumstances will I distribute the original RAW file!) [see footnote]

Be aware though that release forms (where relevant) have not been obtained so appropriate separate permissions may need to be sought, and I can accept no responsibility or liability for third-party usage of my photos.

However, where my pics may be used in anything other than a non-profit context then terms should be negotiated through Radical Images photographic agency!

Needless to say, all posts on this blog are also copyright!

Generally my opinion regarding copyright and reproduction issues are that images are meant to be seen and if a person doesn’t want their images reproduced then they shouldn’t publish them on the Web in the first place. That said however, it is common courtesy to credit the original photographer and not claim the image as one’s own!

[Footnote: I shoot the majority of my photos in RAW mode, using AdobeRGB colourspace. Whereas intended usage of my images is the Web and consequently the original files are converted to JPEGs using sRGB colourspace, JPEGs or TIFFs can be produced for print if required in AdobeRGB colourspace]
