HERE IS THE WRITTEN PUBLIC STATEMENT
All images and text appearing on this site are the property of Glenn McKimmin. They remain protected by Australian Copyright Laws. The images and text are not to be downloaded or reproduced in any way or used for personal, editorial, or commercial purposes without the written permission by Glenn McKimmin. All Rights Reserved.
THE AGE OF THE INTERNET & SOCIAL MEDIA
Our livelihood as photographers is dependent on the income we can generate taking pictures. Some people might suggest that exposure alone is appropriate compensation. Perhaps they would change their thinking if they didn’t receive payment for the jobs they do. For many years in the print media, there has been a minimum standard of attaching the photographer’s name near every photograph that appears. It’s that credit that provides an avenue for others to find us. In today’s Internet age, we offer clear guidance for the use of our photography. In exchange for image usage, there are two clear options you can choose.
REQUEST
1. Written permission for image usage with appropriate citation.
2. A paid image usage license

Once you have written permission, these are the requirements for sharing our photography publicly.

PERMISSION
Each interested party must contact and receive separate written permission and offer just compensation before sharing the designated photos in printed or electronic advertising, magazines, portfolios, websites, or blogs outside your direct control or on your business website.
We have an image usage agreement you can access by contacting Glenn via email – [email protected]. Permission may be rescinded for displaying the photographs at any time for any reason. If we do deliver a request for removal, per our written agreement, you agree to remove the photos within 24 hours of receipt of that request. If you fail to abide by these Terms & Conditions, you agree to compensate us for any usage. We base that compensation on the monetary rate that would be customary for such usage and the industry standard at the time of said publication or distribution. You may also be held liable for actual and/or statutory damages. To quickly calculate standard industry usage rates, we suggest you refer to the Getty Images calculators for non-royalty free images.
