Photography & video licensing
Need to use my photography or footage in a campaign, on a brand website, or in paid advertising? I can quote the specific files and usage rights you need.
Qualifying personal packages include agreed personal use; business packages include their specified owned-channel organic website, social and PR usage. We do not charge twice for rights already included in your written agreement.
Licensing guide prices
Licensing prices
These are starting ranges, not fixed prices. Your quote depends on which files you need, whether they require editing, who will use them, where they will appear, for how long, and whether you need exclusivity.
Existing photos and clips
$250–$500
Selected existing finished photos or one short clip for one named business’s own organic channels, typically up to 12 months.
Existing photos and clips
$350–$750
A curated set of finished photos for one named organizer or brand’s approved organic use, typically up to 12 months.
Edited video with licensed use
$600–$1,200
A 20–60-second promotional recap produced from available footage. Scope, editing work and named-brand organic usage are set out in the quote.
Paid advertising use
$500–$1,500
An added license for specified campaign assets, one named advertiser and a defined territory; typical initial term is 3 months.
Production, editing and usage rights are identified separately when applicable. The event recap price describes a finished edit with defined use; it is not an unlimited rights buyout.
Camera RAW photos, original video takes and project files are not included in standard delivery.
Starting at 200% of the original creative fee, with a $1,000 minimum
Selected originals are considered case by case only, subject to Sean's specific written approval, a defined asset list, permitted use, necessary clearances and agreed terms. The final price may be higher. Where no original creative fee exists, the quote basis is reviewed individually rather than assumed to be zero.
Receiving originals does not automatically transfer copyright or provide an unrestricted license to every file.
Custom quote and written approval for:
- Regional or national multi-channel campaigns
- Broadcast, packaging, merchandise or resale
- Additional brands, sponsors, labels or agencies
- Expanded duration, channels, territory or permitted edits
- Exclusive licensing or copyright assignment
Credits, tagging or exposure do not replace a usage agreement or agreed compensation.
How licensing works
01
Tell me what you need
Share the photos, clips, recap, or original files you want to use.
02
Where will you use it?
Let me know who will use the work, where it will run, and for how long.
03
Review the quote
I’ll send a quote with the included files and usage rights in writing.
04
Receive your files
Once the agreement and payment are complete, I’ll deliver the approved files.
Need photos or footage from an event I shot?
Tell me which show or project, the files you want, and how you plan to use them—on social, in an ad, or with your own editor. I’ll check the available rights and send a quote. Receiving a file or a photo credit does not grant additional usage rights.
Discuss licensingWritten scope controls the license. Model releases, music, venue and other third-party permissions may also be required. Existing signed project agreements and rights already granted are honored.
