Copy­right Own­ers Rights

As the owner of the copy­right in pho­tographs have the exclu­sive right to:

• repro­duce the photographs—for exam­ple, by mak­ing prints, pho­to­copy­ing, and digitizing
• pub­lish the pho­to­graph (make copies of the pho­tographs avail­able to the pub­lic for the first time)

Moral Rights

As a cre­ators of copy­right works, I assert my “moral rights” in rela­tion to my works. These are sep­a­rate from copy­right. Moral rights impose cer­tain oblig­a­tions on peo­ple who use a copy­right work. As a pho­tog­ra­pher, I have the right to:

• be attrib­uted as cre­ator of my photographs
• take action if my work is falsely attributed
• take action if my work is dis­torted or treated in a way that is prej­u­di­cial to my hon­our or reputation

Non Com­mer­cial Web Use of Photographs

If you have a per­sonal home page or non-commercial Web ser­vice, please feel free to use my pho­tographs with a hyper linked credit on every page where one of my pho­tos appears. Accept­able HTML is

Photographs courtesy <a href="http://www.jonathanbourke.com/">Jonathan Bourke</a> 

That way peo­ple know who took the pic­ture and also can find my on-line copy­right state­ment. You do not need to pay for usage, though I would appre­ci­ate it if you could let me know by drop­ping me a line from my About page.

Com­mer­cial Web Use of Photographs

If you wish to use one of my images on a com­mer­cial web site, please do the following:

1. Con­tact me in advance to arrange per­mis­sion, using my about page
2. Order com­mer­cial rights using the Foto­moto order­ing sys­tem in the Port­fo­lio section
3. Ensure that all pho­tographs are cor­rectly cred­ited as out­lined above

Please Note

Most of the pic­tures of peo­ple on my pages are not model-released. Adver­tis­ing usage of pho­tos (e.g., brochures, cat­a­logs, print ads) is very dif­fer­ent from edi­to­r­ial usage of pho­tos (e.g., news­pa­per and mag­a­zine arti­cles, books). You can­not use pic­tures in adver­tis­ing (e.g., an on-line prod­uct brochure or any­thing else that is sell­ing) with­out get­ting a model release from any per­son whose image is recog­nis­able in the photo. You might also have prob­lems if an image con­tains a recog­nis­able phys­i­cal prop­erty, e.g., Disneyland.
