License Fees To Use Bruce Butler, Photographer, Stock Photography

Index


Basic Pricing.

Bruce Butler Photography has a simple licensing schedule for the images on the Web site used in low volume applications. There are no fees for searching and viewing our images, however, there is a fee for licensing images. These are the file sizes recommended for the production of digital presentations and printed pieces. The images on the Web site are typically raw, and are color corrected and digitally touched-up as required prior to delivery.

All of the fees are for a one-time license to use the image. If you license an image and later decide to use it for a longer use period, greater production run, or use it in another category, you must license and pay the fees for the new or additional usage.

The following prices apply only to the images on BruceButlerPhoto.com.
Please refer to the
price quote form if you need price quotes for images that require a custom photo search or unique requirements.
