Clear explanation of commercial usage rights, copyright law, and sponsor distribution rights.
How Australian copyright law applies to commercial photography commissions, third-party sponsor usage rights, and non-commercial partner distribution.
1. Standard Commercial Usage Licence
Under the Australian Copyright Act 1968, the photographer owns copyright in the images unless otherwise assigned in writing. All our commercial and event commissions include a comprehensive, perpetual usage licence.
What is Included in Your Licence
Perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free usage across your organisation's website, marketing collateral, PR press kits, internal communications, annual reports, and social media channels.
Third-Party Sponsor & Vendor Rights
Sponsors and commercial partners attending your event may use imagery for post-event editorial and reporting when coordinated through your communications team.
2. Participant Privacy & Crowded Venue Protocols
Guidelines for documenting attendees in public and private commercial venues in NSW.
Ticketing Terms & Notice of Filming
We recommend including standard 'Notice of Photography & Filming' wording in attendee registration terms to ensure transparent consent.
Sensitive & Embargoed Material
We respect non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) and embargoes on unreleased products, financial disclosures, or sensitive community members.
Key points
- Full commercial usage rights in perpetuity included with every commission.
- Zero recurring licensing renewal fees.
- Clear guidelines for third-party sponsor distribution.
- Full compliance with Australian privacy standards and NDAs.
