Thank you for considering my services - Stock Photography involves the use of images that have already been created. Such images are licensed for very specific uses and for specific periods of time. The advantage to the end-user is that the images are readily available and there is no customer outlay for production costs. Request a stock photo license quote.
Stock Photos include: scenic landscapes (mountains, oceans, forests), city landscapes (night, dawn, dusk, day time), location centric images (i.e. squares and parks in Savannah Georgia), nature (wildlife, bird life, water, oceans, streams, rivers, lakes, waterfalls, marsh, plants), events (concerts, meetings, sports, festivals), national parks and wildlife refuges, and aerial photos (window seat views approaching and departing any of the cities listed below as well as 10-30000 foot views of the USA in general.) Commercial and Advertising Photography information is located here.

Online Stock Photo Image/Picture/Photo Galleries
** All of the images on this site are 'Rights Managed' - this means that you need two things to use the images:
permission from the photographer; only granted upon payment of appropriate license fees
a license that is specific for usage types that you may need (i.e. print, web/Internet, personal)
Any time that you use an image that you did not create you need to document (i.e. give credit) to the creator/owner of the image. If you are a K-12 student and you would like to use any of my images then please have your teacher contact me (using the contact form below) for my educational terms and conditions of use.
Answer #1: The license fee depends on the how the image will be used. 'Rights Management' is about determining an equitable price based on how an image will be used as well as how unique the image is. Typically, use of an image for advertising purposes will cost more than for editorial use (i.e an image used in a camera advertisement as opposed to the same image used in a book about photography.)
Answer #2: Generally speaking, no. Images are licensed directly for a specific use or uses. A license could include a license to re-sell the image - the cost of such a license would be somewhat higher than a license to use the image in, for instance, an ad campaign or in a textbook.
Answer #3: Select the 'order prints' link (below) - one of the possible ordering options, in addition to prints of various sizes, may include download a file which you can then use for printing as many copies as needed for personal use, only. Such prints cannot be sold or used for any commercial or promotional purpose. If you can't find the image that you are interested in then please use the contact form (below) and I will make the image available. NOTE - you may not distribute files that you license for personal use, but, you can make prints or have prints made to share. Please contact me if this is not clear.
Answer #4: Print prices reflect many things including: uniqueness of the image, the size and type of print, the cost of creating the image (i.e. camera gear, image manipulation processing time, web site setup, office costs, transportation costs, etc.), and a need to make a profit! I can't compete (on price) with the printing offered by the corner drug store or a large chain store, but they didn't take the picture, did they?
Answer #5: Yes, Rights Exclusive Stock (RES) or Rights Protected (RP) are a licensing option that provides clients with more exclusive use of images. This option keeps your competition from licensing the same image so you won't open a magazine, newspaper or view a web page where the same image is being used (a common and potential problem if you make use of Rights Free (RF) images.)
Answer #6: Not at this time. If this is where your current need is then do a search for "Rights Free photo" or "Microstock photo" with your favorite search engine. Try my search engine tips page if you need help.
If requesting a license quote then please be prepared to provide the following information when you call, email or use the contact form (below):
