Licensing

Every photograph here began with time in wild places: long mornings with cheetahs in the Serengeti, slow dives along Bonaire's reef, the patience it takes for an animal to forget you are there. I'm glad when that work travels further, into a magazine, a book, an exhibition. I only ask that it travels with permission, and with my name beside it.

Licensing an image

I license photographs for editorial and commercial use: magazines, books, exhibitions, publications, and brand work. Each license is priced to its use, so the quickest route is to tell me what you have in mind:

The image, by title or link

How it will be used: editorial, commercial, exhibition, or other

Where it will appear: publication, platform, or medium

Size, placement, and print run or expected audience

Territory and duration

Your deadline

Contact me and I'll reply within 5 business days. Full-resolution files are delivered once the license is agreed.

Conservation organizations

If your organization works to protect the places and species in these photographs, ask about reduced or waived fees for campaigns and education.
