Photo Licensing & Copyright

Photo licensing and copyright information for concert photography, press photos, band promo photos, portrait sessions, EPK images, artist portraits, musician photos, branding images, paid media, third-party use, album packaging, merch, and promotional campaigns. Jessica Dnea Imagery keeps copyright to the images and licenses usage based on how the photos will be used, where they will appear, who needs access, and how long the usage needs to run.

Included License (Music + Events)

Copyright
Copyright remains with the photographer. You’re purchasing usage rights based on the license selected. Licensing can be expanded later if your usage grows.

Portrait Sessions (default)
Portrait sessions include personal use and self-promotion use. Business, advertising, product, or third-party use can be licensed as needed.

  • Yes. If your usage expands (paid ads, larger campaigns, merch, third-party use), licensing can be upgraded without re-shooting.
