Pricing and licenses

Simple and easy: all photos on this website are sold under the simple Royalty Free type licensing. All prices are listed in New Zealand Dollars (NZD), but no matter what country you or your credit card is from, a currency conversion will automatically be made by PayPal or by your bank.

Web only lower resolution: from only NZD 5

High resolution: from only NZD 25

Web only low resolution or vintage photos have a minimum size of 800 pixel and 72+ dpi.

High resolution photos have the original size indicated, with 300 dpi.

With a Royalty Free license you are acquiring the right to use a photo in a certain way, not the property of the photo itself. The photographer who created the photo is still the owner of the photo, holding the all important copyright.

It means you there are no repeat royalties every time you use the photo, just once when you buy it.
