getty image usage RIGHTS + discount

Best Practices:

  • Attribute or credit photographs properly

  • For event photography, license photographs from reputable photo agencies such as Getty Images, Wire Image, Shutterstock, etc. AVOID any images associated with paparazzi photo agencies such as, but not limited to: Backgrid, Splash News, and Xposure

  • Only publish or post photos that you have purchased the license to use or have written permission from the photographer or copyright holder

  • Do not modify photographs if you are not the copyright holder or it’s not a part of your license agreement (resizing is ok)

 

Instagram Tips:

  • BTS content performs well on social media; take opportunities for capturing your own photos to post from an event.

  • Collaborate and get permission from other artists on a job to share any BTS or additional capture.

  • Tag and provide credit to any photographer of an image that is not your own.
