Licensing Overview

Use the image you need, with rights that fit the project.

Dan Sproul's photography is available for licensed use beyond traditional fine-art print purchases. Licensing allows a business, designer, publisher, organization or creative team to use a selected image for an agreed purpose while Dan retains the copyright.

Rights are tailored to the actual project. Commercial interior display, editorial use, business communications, publication, presentation, regional campaigns and other uses can be considered. The scope is confirmed in writing before high-resolution files are delivered.

For interior projects that need a coordinated group of images rather than one photograph, curated collection licenses are also available.

General Rights Framework

What licensing usually includes — and what requires permission.

Exact rights depend on the project. The points below describe the default approach to licensing and are not a substitute for a project-specific written agreement.

Commonly licensable

Commercial interior display at an agreed location or project.
Editorial or publication use within the agreed title, issue or distribution.
Business presentation, report or communication use specifically described in the license.
Reasonable crop, resize and production color correction for the approved use.
File access by a contracted printer, designer or production partner solely to complete the licensed project.

Separate permission required

Resale, merchandise, templates, stock redistribution or sublicensing.
Use at additional properties, projects or locations not included in the license.
Advertising or promotional campaigns unless explicitly included.
Major alteration, compositing or creation of derivative commercial products.
AI training, machine-learning datasets, model training, NFT use or similar dataset exploitation.

Image Metadata & Search Discovery

Clear creator and licensing information.

Where implemented, selected images on dsproul.com may include machine-readable creator, copyright and licensing information in addition to visible page content.

This metadata identifies Dan Sproul as the creator, Dan Sproul Photography as the credit, and directs users to an appropriate licensing page for authorized use.

Metadata does not grant permission by itself. A use is authorized only when the applicable license terms have been accepted and any required fee has been paid.

Licensing FAQ

Common questions about using the photography.

Does licensing mean I own the image?

No. Unless a written agreement specifically transfers copyright, Dan Sproul retains copyright. The client receives permission for the uses described in the license.

Can I license a photograph I saw elsewhere on your website?

Possibly. Send the page link, image title or screenshot and describe the intended use. Availability and rights can then be confirmed.

Can my designer, printer or fabricator receive the file?

Yes when the license allows it. Production partners may receive files solely as necessary to complete the approved project and may not reuse or redistribute them.

Do you offer exclusive licenses?

Standard licenses are generally non-exclusive. If exclusivity is important to a project, include that requirement in the inquiry so availability and pricing can be reviewed separately.

How is licensing priced?

Pricing depends on the image, type of use, distribution, quantity, duration, geography and whether exclusivity is requested. Curated interior collections may have fixed package pricing; other uses are quoted individually.

Can an image be used for AI training or a dataset?

Not under a standard license. AI training, machine-learning datasets, model training and related uses require separate written permission.
