Sourcing and licensing photographs for publication

Are you looking for unique images for your publication or promotions?
We can help you.

The Onsight Photography Photo Library is one of the most extensive and highest-quality collections of its type. Whether you require one image or a series, whether it's for an editorial or advertising usage, let us show how we can quickly provide a solution for you.

In the past we have successfully helped hundreds of clients source the best images to distinguish their publications and promotions. Because we are experienced in photography AND publishing, we have a better understanding of the various industry requirements. Working with different file types and colour profiles, providing digital services and meeting deadlines, are things we do on a daily basis.

The Onsight Photography photo library exclusively distributes Simon's photography — this is the only place where you will be able to source these images. We are a right's managed library, which means we can tailor the licensing rights to your requirements — so that you do not pay for rights that
you do not need, but also get the exclusivity that you might want.


What to do next...

Let us know the details of your project.

Please contact us. The more information you can give us up front the quicker we
can help select and supply the images, determine which usage rights you require and agree on an appropriate fee.

Selecting images

Whilst the photo library encompasses action at many of the World's premier climbing locations, it also includes landscapes, nature, travel and an assortment of other adventure activities. Our online gallery provides but a
glimpse of the extent of the collection. Of course let us know if you have a particular image in mind already. If you are looking for something in particular then let us know; we are happy to search our larger collection and present a selection of images that match your criteria.

Usage rights and fees

Some of the information we might need to know:

  • Kind of use. For example, magazine editorial, book, brochure, catalogue, annual report, advertising, point-of-sale, billboard, web, or combination of these.
  • Size and placement of the image. For example, if on a printed page: full-page, 1/2 page, etc and the actual size of the page. If it is to be used on a cover or back-cover.
  • Circulation and geographic distribution. The number of copies to be printed and where it is distributed (for example, 100,000 copies North America only).
  • Number of insertions. If it is editorial you may only want one usage, but if it is a magazine advertisement you may want numerous insertions, perhaps in several different publications.
  • Rights required. For example, is it to be first rights, once only non-exclusive rights, or is exclusivity required. If duration of the usage is applicable, for example for the web, is it for six months or two years etc.
  • Number of images required.

Some of this information may not be applicable to your project, but the more relevent information you can give us, the faster we can determine the usage rights and agree on pricing.


Supply of images

Once the images are selected supply can be very prompt. We can supply professionally adjusted digital files over the internet (FTP or email) or on disk.
Let us know if you have a preference for file type or colour profile.
