Let's Talk Business
Because free isn't in my vocabulary when it comes to my work
The Reality Check
Look, I get it - you found a photo you love and want to use it. But here's the thing: these images represent countless hours of planning, hiking, freezing, and occasionally questioning my life choices at 3 AM. They're not free.
If you want to use my work, we need to have a proper conversation about licensing. No exceptions, no "just for my blog," no "it's not commercial." My work has value, and I expect to be compensated for it.
Commercial Use
For business purposes, marketing, advertising, or any use that generates revenue or promotes a brand.
- • Website headers and marketing materials
- • Print advertising and brochures
- • Social media campaigns
- • Product packaging

Pricing varies based on usage, duration, and distribution. Contact me for a quote.
Editorial Use
For news, articles, educational content, or non-commercial publications.
- • News articles and journalism
- • Educational materials
- • Non-profit publications
- • Travel guides and blogs
- • Documentary projects
Generally lower rates than commercial use. Proper attribution required.
What's Not Allowed
Free Personal Use
No, you can't use my photos for free just because it's "personal." Personal use still requires a license.
Social Media Without Permission
Posting my work on your social media without a license is still copyright infringement.
Modifications Without Permission
You can't edit, crop, or alter my images without explicit permission in the license.
Resale or Redistribution
You cannot sell, sublicense, or give my work to others without permission.
How to Request a License
Ready to do this properly? Here's what I need from you:
- Specific image(s) - Tell me exactly which photos you want to use
- Intended use - What's your plan for the image?
- Duration - How long do you need the license?
- Distribution - Where and how will it be used?
- Budget - What's your budget range?
Fill out the form below with all the details. No vague requests, no "just checking" - come prepared with specifics.

Licenses are non-transferable unless explicitly stated otherwise. All usage rights must be specified in writing.
I reserve the right to refuse licensing for any reason, including but not limited to political, religious, or controversial content.
