OK, that's a simple one: don't steal my photos. They are not for free taking, not for free inclusion in your academic papers, and not for free mass reposting on your favorite web forum. If you want to use them, simply ask. It does not hurt and makes you friends.

If you want to use my photos in a professional context, you can buy a right of use. Fees depend on use case and circulation. For private, noncommercial, academic and NGO uses, arrangements with considerably reduced, symbolic or no fees could be met, depending on the context. From time to time I also donate photos.

From now on, those few who do not understand these simple rules will receive invoices. Self-servicing with your source quoted will result in the twofold fee you would have had to pay normally. Self-servicing without citing your source or claiming someone else to be the copyright holder will result in the fivefold fee. Asking first is free - and easy.

(Using preview versions of photos to link to or to cite my website is of course free and encouraged, see Misconceptions)
