Understandingstock image licensing

As a photographer you retain thecopyright. TPG just licenses your stock images for customers to use.

There are two image license types(Rights Managed & Royalty Free) but since 2020, you can only choose RF:

RF stands for Royalty Free.Customers pay a one–off fee to use the image with no restrictions on how theyuse it, or how long they use it for. RF images can be used across multipleprojects, forever.

If images contain peopleor property they need to have the right releases to be sold forcommercial use.

Modeland property releases for stock images

A release is a legaldocument between you and the model or property owner in your image.

You’re free to use yourown form or you can use our sample release forms (you can request our MR &PR form) but you need to be confident the form you use is legally binding andprotects you.

You need to keep yoursigned releases safe, as they may need to be referenced by a customer or lawyerin the future.

We usually don’t need youto upload your releases, all you need to do is annotate your images in theimage manager to say that you have one available. We’ll get in touchto ask you for a copy if a customer or lawyer requests to see it.

Don’tworry, if you don’t have a release, we can still sell your images foreditorial uses and If you’re sure the image can only be used editorially, youcan contact us and put the “editorial only” into the metadata so we would beaware to process your images in the right way.

We sell lots of unreleasedimages to our editorial customers like newspapers, magazines and bookpublishers because they don’t need a release.

When do Ineed a model release?

If the person in yourimage can recognise themselves in any way, you’ll need a model release to sellfor commercial use. This includes crowd scenes, parts of the body orsilhouettes.
