Advice & Tips

Clip Art
A collection of graphic elements that can be used in a design. Clip art generally excludes photographs, fine art works, and illustrations.

Digital Stock Photos
Digitized photos that are delivered to users in CD-ROM format. Images are either available as scanned photos, or as digital objects. Digital stock photos usually do not incur royalty fees.

License Fees
A fee for the rights to reproduce or change an image. Depending on the project, price can range from as little as $30 to many thousands of dollars.

Model Release
A legal form models sign to indicate they have given permission for their image to be disseminated as stock photography and have received adequate compensation for their work.

Rights-protected Photos
Photos that must be leased from an agency for a one-time negotiable fee based on how the photo will be used.

Royalty-free Photos
Photos with few restrictions on image manipulation. These photographs can be purchased for a one-time, nominal fee for unlimited usage.

Source Images
35mm slides or 4" x 5" transparencies of the image. Source images may provide better quality reproduction, particularly if you do not require a digital file.

Stock Photography Agencies
Vendors who rent images to users on a per use basis. Once a prospective buyer calls in with a request, agency researchers will make selections of photographs they deem appropriate for the user. Final selections are delivered to the user for a fee.
