Using Product Photos After Publication

Good morning all,

Some of you have queries on utilising photos of your products post-book-publication.

We hope the following answers your questions, but please don't hesitate to contact us if are still unsure.

If you are sending us a photo that you took, the copyright remains yours and you are giving us permission to print the photo in the book, royalty-free. We do ask that you refrain from posting this exact photo online or anywhere else until the book is published. If this photo has already appeared on your website or elsewhere, that's fine so long as you don't mention it will be in handmade living.

If you are sending a photo that your friend or a photographer took, the copyright remains to that person, and they are giving us permission to print the photo in the book, royalty-free. We do ask that you refrain from posting this exact photo online or anywhere else until the book is published. If this photo has already appeared on your website or elsewhere, that's fine so long as you don't mention it will be in handmade living.

If we are photographing your item for you, the photo will remain copyright of handmade living. and cannot be used anywhere else except in the book.

If you would like to promote your product by referencing your article in handmade living., this would be wonderful - so long as you utilise the ENTIRE ARTICLE - that is, photograph and any text, scanned and copied directly from the book. You can use this anywhere you like, so long as you always reference handmade living. each time you do so.

If you wanted to gain access to any photos we have taken of your product, you can purchase copyright from the photographer, and the cost will vary, depending on who takes the photo. You can purchase similar photos but not the actual ones used in the book. If you purchase these photos, you will obtain ownership and copyright.

As already stated on this blog and in your designer info pack, you have full rights to the work that appears in handmade living. and can sell it, use it or promote it any way you like, now, yesterday or tomorrow. We just ask that you do not mention that particular product will be featured in handmade living. until after publication.

Any more questions, please ask.
