IMAGE LICENSING

I love seeing my photography being shared and used. Whether you’re an athlete looking for a photograph of yourself, a coach building your business, or a brand looking for imagery for a campaign, I try to keep licensing straightforward.

The basic principle is simple: buying an image gives you permission to use it for the purpose it was purchased for. Copyright remains with Matt Phillips Photography.

PERSONAL USE

Included with your image purchase

If you purchase an image from one of my event galleries, personal use is included.

You’re welcome to share it on your personal social media, use it as a profile picture and make prints for yourself.

If the image is being used to promote a business, service, team, brand or other commercial activity, you’ll need the appropriate licence.

BUSINESS USE

For coaches, PTs, athletes, sole traders and small businesses

If you’d like to use my existing photography to promote your business or professional services, I offer simple 12-month business licences.

1 image — £65
Up to 5 images — £100
Up to 10 images — £150

This covers use on your business website, business social media and organic promotional content for 12 months.

Paid advertising, merchandise and use by sponsors, brands or other third parties aren't included.

CLUBS + TEAMS

Running clubs, cycling clubs and sports teams come in all shapes and sizes, so I prefer to keep this flexible.

If you’re a grassroots or community club wanting to use an image to celebrate your members, get in touch and I’ll happily discuss what you need.

For commercial teams or photography being used for marketing, sponsorship or promotional purposes, business or commercial licensing may apply.

COMMERCIAL + BRAND USE

For brands, sponsors, agencies, event organisers and commercial campaigns

Commercial licensing is tailored to the intended use of the photography.

This can include brand campaigns, advertising, paid social media, event promotion, print, editorial and other commercial applications.

Pricing depends on the images required, where they'll be used, the duration of the licence and the scale of the campaign.

ONE LAST THING…

Licences apply to the person or organisation they're issued to and aren't automatically transferable to teams, sponsors, brands, partners or other third parties.

If you’re unsure which licence you need, don't worry — just drop me a message, tell me what you'd like to do with the images and I'll point you in the right direction.

Let’s keep it simple.
