Image Copyright & Usage

All photographs on this website and any images provided to clients are the intellectual property of Alfie Datson Photography unless otherwise explicitly agreed in writing.

Copyright Ownership

I retain full copyright and ownership of all images I create. This means that even after you purchase or receive images, you are granted a license to use them for the purposes agreed in your contract or correspondence—such as personal use, promotion, or specific commercial use.

You do not acquire ownership of the copyright itself, unless a separate written agreement transferring copyright has been made and signed by both parties.

What You Can Do

With the license you receive, you are typically permitted to:

• Share the images on your personal or business social media channels (with credit where possible).

• Display the images on your website for promotional purposes (if included in your license).

• Print copies for personal use or agreed business use.

If you are unsure whether your intended use is covered, please get in touch before publishing or distributing any images.

What You Cannot Do

Unless you have written permission, you may not:

• Sell, license, or redistribute any of my images to third parties.

• Alter, edit, or manipulate the images in a way that could harm the integrity of my work or misrepresent the event or subject.

• Use images in competitions or publications without prior approval.

As the creator, I reserve the right to use the images for my own promotional purposes, including but not limited to:

• Portfolio display (online and print).

• Social media posts.

• Awards, competitions, or industry showcases.

If you have concerns about privacy or would like to request restrictions on how your images are used, please discuss this with me before or during booking—I am always happy to accommodate reasonable requests wherever possible.
