Imagery Information

Stock imagery- "Stock photography is the supply of photographs, which are often licensed for specific uses. It is used to fulfill the needs of creative assignments instead of hiring a photographer, often for a lower cost. Today, stock images can be presented in searchable online databases. They can be purchased and delivered online." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stock_photography

I found a few popular sites where you can sell and purchase stock imagery:

You type in a key work and you will see images relating to your key word that you can use/purchase or you can create an account to put your own imagery on there.

Copyright- To have the rights to own an image for the purpose of using or selling the image you have to own the copyright buy paying to have the cipyright transferred to you for an image or copyrighting your own image. This means if someone else uses your image without your permission you can put in a claim against them or you have sell the copyright to another person or business. This is really helpful if you are trying to earn money in the photography business.


Exclusive/Non Exclusive- "A Non-Exclusive Licence grants to the licensee the right to use the intellectual property, but means that the licensor remains free to exploit the same intellectual property and to allow any number of other licensees to also exploit the same intellectual property." - http://united-kingdom.taylorwessing.com/synapse/commerical_exclusive_nonexclusive.html
