Licensing our pictures

I share the philosophy that art and photography is meant to be seen as much as possible.

Our licensing policies are thus designed to balance the costs that go into creating and sharing our images with the desire to provide inspiration through our images on the internet and around the world.

Therefor, Kurt of Highdynamicranger.com allows use of his images in two ways: by using the creative commons license principles or by acquiring the copyrights.

Creative Commons License

With Creative Commons you are free:

  • to share: copy, distribute, and transmit the image
  • to remix: create derivative works of the image

Under these conditions:

  • Attribution: attribution to Kurt Bogaert and www.highdynamicranger.com must be made along with the image.
  • Non-Commercial: the image must not be used for commercial purposes under any circumstances. For clarity on what defines commercial use, please see the sample of accepted uses below:
    • a blog post describing a trip to New York using pictures of the city
    • articles discussing photography
    • a website for a project about a topic using the pictures
    • an individual using images as a desktop background or screensaver for the computer monitor

License To Copyright

‘Commercial Use’ regarding the use of images online or offline is defined very broadly. The determination of commercial or non-commercial use is based on the contextual use of the image. The determination is NOT based on the tax-filing status of the entity using the image nor on whether or not a financial transaction takes place.

Commercial use of our images is allowed only if expressly granted by highdynamicranger.com. All commercial uses will incur a licensing fee. Our fees are based on the following criteria:

  • Media – print, web, television, etc.
  • Distribution Size – number of copies printed, viewing audience size, exposure (regional, national, international)
  • Length of Use – 1 year, 2 years, etc.
  • Prominence of Display – 1/4 page, 1/2 page, full page, spread, front cover, back cover, home page (online), interior page (online), etc.

All licensing inquiries should be sent to: info@highdynamicranger.com

You can also buy the copyrights of our pictures via our account on 500px.
