Commercial use of images

Many of my photos can be found both in the analogue and digital world. As backgrounds for websites, in PowerPoint presentations of renowned companies, and as illustrations in major newspapers and magazines. And not always with my permission or the corresponding payment.

Even The Wall Street Journal and Dutch broadcaster AvroTros had to be reminded that photographers need to eat too.

But sometimes things go very well. My photos have been published with permission (and occasionally payment) on book covers, in magazines, and even as life-sized wall prints in a trendy café in Greece.

Are you interested in using one of my images for your commercial project? Feel free to contact me for a quote (it’s quite reasonable) and a suitable file. Most photos are available in high resolution.

For non-commercial use, don’t hesitate to get in touch — your project might qualify for a little support.

Not in the mood to buy a print or a licence? A coffee is also fine ☕ :)
