Photography Licensing Policy
YOU’RE LICENSING THE PHOTOS — NOT BUYING THE COPYRIGHT.
Lake Tahoe Real Estate Photography retains copyright ownership of all images. After full payment, the Client receives one limited, non-exclusive,
non-transferable license to use the photographs for the specific property and the purpose identified when the assignment is booked: property-sale
marketing or vacation-rental marketing.
PERMITTED USE FOR THE COMMISSIONED PURPOSE
If booked for a property sale: Use to market that specific property for its current sale listing, including MLS/listing syndication, property-specific agent or
brokerage listing pages, social media, digital ads, email campaigns, brochures, and flyers.
If booked for vacation-rental marketing: Use to market that specific property as a short-term rental, including Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com, the property’s
rental website, social media, digital ads, email campaigns, and printed materials. A designated property manager may use the images only on the Client’s
behalf and within the scope of the assignment.
CHANGING THE USE REQUIRES RELICENSING
The license covers the purpose for which the photography was commissioned. If a rental property is later put up for sale, the rental-marketing license does
not authorize use in MLS or sale advertising. If a property photographed for sale is later marketed as a vacation rental, the sale-marketing license does not
authorize rental-platform or short-term-rental advertising. In either situation, contact the Photographer and obtain written authorization and a new license
before using the images for the new purpose.
OTHER USES THAT REQUIRE WRITTEN APPROVAL
• Using images to market a different property or as stock photography.
• General agent, realtor, brokerage, or property-management promotion, including portfolios, business cards, recruiting, and corporate advertising not tied to
the specific property campaign.
• Providing images to a subsequent owner, another agent/brokerage, property manager, rental operator, or other business for independent use.
• Unrelated commercial advertising, publications, development/construction marketing, products, or merchandise.
IMPORTANT LIMITS
• The license is limited to the specific property and commissioned purpose; it does not transfer automatically if ownership or management changes.
• Images may not be resold, sublicensed, redistributed, or transferred for independent use.
• RAW/original files are not included. Cropping and reasonable resizing for the permitted purpose are allowed; substantial edits require permission.
• AI training or machine-learning use is not permitted without written authorization.
