Why a CC licence?

I want you to see the moment as I saw it, and to enjoy the final image. This is also why I choose to share my work under a Creative Commons licence. The CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence defines clearly how the images may be used, offering more freedom for non-commercial use than standard copyright, while I retain full authorship and rights as the creator.

Questions?

If you are unsure what the licence allows, or if you are considering commercial use of my work, feel free to get in touch — I’m happy to clarify.


Did I snap a photo of you on the street?
Did I hand you my card afterwards?

If I photographed you on the street and handed you my card afterwards, thank you again for your time in front of the camera. You can download the image here for private use, as long as it remains within the terms of the CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence.

If you would like a version without the watermark, just send me a message and I’ll provide a full-resolution file.
