Image Licensing
Oceanwide Images license images for commercial and editorial use. We only provide Rights Managed licensing because we feel that it is a fair and practical licensing model that benefits both photographers and clients. The licensing fee for Rights Managed images is based on usage. In practice, Rights Managed images tend to be more exclusive, and of a higher standard than Royalty Free images.
Oceanwide Images carefully select and stock premium, high resolution wildlife images. We know that you will be 100% satisfied with the quality of your licensed image.
How is Rights Managed licensing calculated?
Oceanwide Images make every attempt to ensure fairness when calculating image licensing fees. Rights Managed licensing fees are calculated by a number of variables including the size of image, type of publication, geographical distribution and image placement.
No two licensing agreements are exactly the same. Just as every image is different, the intended use also varies. Therefore, in order to obtain the correct licensing fee, clients will first need to complete the free registration form, select the desired images and complete the licensing request form.
We endeavor to work within your budget wherever possible and offer a personalized service to help you through the licensing process.

Do you offer exclusive rights?
Exclusive licensing rights protects your image from being licensed to anyone else and the fee is determined by the territories included in the license and the time frame (e.g. Worldwide for 2 years or Europe for 1 year).
Most clients choose Non-Exclusive licensing rights because it is the cheaper alternative. Managed Rights Images by the nature of the licensing model, are generally more unique. It is very unlikely that the same image would be used in the same way by two competing businesses.
Who can license images?
Image licensing is available to all registered businesses, such as advertising agencies, book and magazine publishers, marketing consultants, calendar, poster, and greeting card companies, newspapers, government bodies and commercial entities.
