Bookings

Pre-Event Consultation: The costumer will outline broadly what is required and Santiago Photography will advice on planning, logistics and timing where needed/if required. The Customer is welcome to meet and discuss any additional requirements closer to the time of the event to clarify any remaining details. Meetings can be held at clients convenience in their location or any place example (coffee shop). For avoidance of doubt it is strongly recommended that all specific details or request are confirmed in writing or by email.

Booking Confirmation: A signed Photography booking form contract and deposit/payment are necessary to confirm the booking. Alternatively confirmation by email of acceptance terms and conditions will also be deemed to be a contractual agreement and the payment due.

 * Intellectual Property - Copyright

Many people are not aware of the meaning of Licensing images and copyright. These is what you need to know in order to understand the difference between licensing images and copyright:

• The creator of the image is automatically the holder of the copyright in that image.

• Copyright applies to any medium. This means that you must not reproduce copyright protected work in another medium without permission. This includes, publishing photographs on the internet, making a sound recording of a book, a painting of a photograph and so on.

• Copyright does not protect ideas for a work.  It is only when the work itself is fixed, for example in writing, that copyright automatically protects it. This means that you do not have to apply for copyright.

Licensing images:

• gives a customer versatility

• is cost effective

• is uniquely tailored to the needs of the customer

Perhaps summed up even more concisely:

Licensing an image means you only pay for what you need.

May I point out that a photographer fee is usually for his/her time, professional experience, knowledge, equipment, overheads and all the necessary insurances.
The license covers what, where and how the image will be used.

In photography, it can be argued that there are two dominant models of image licensing.

1. Royalty free and 2. Rights managed.

In this case.. Rights managed is apply in the use of my images.
