What Is a Commercial Use License for Photography?
A commercial use license allows you to use images for business, marketing, and promotional purposes. This means you can legally use the photos to advertise your brand, sell products, or create content that generates revenue.
Who Needs a Commercial License?
If you plan to use professional photos for any of the following, you likely need a commercial license:
Website & Social Media Marketing – Using images to promote your business or services.
Advertisements – Running paid ads on social media, print, or digital platforms.
Product Packaging & Branding – Using images on product labels, business cards, or brochures.
Editorial & Publications – Featuring images in magazines, blogs, or books that generate income.
How Does a Commercial License Work?
When you book a branding session with Photos by TM, we discuss how you plan to use your images. Your package will include licensing that fits your business needs. Unlike personal use photos (which are just for private use), commercial licenses grant rights for professional purposes.
Why Does Licensing Matter?
Photographers own the copyright to their work. A commercial license ensures you have legal permission to use the images for business, avoiding copyright issues.
If you're investing in branding photography, make sure you have the right license to maximize your business potential.
