Image Usage Rights
This page covers the photographs you receive as a Ryan Parker Photography headshot client — not the terms of use for browsing this website (see our Terms of Use for that).
Your Usage Rights
As a headshot client, you're free to use your final images for personal and professional purposes, including:
Casting profiles and talent platforms
LinkedIn, personal websites, and social media
Business cards, resumes, and professional bios
Company websites, team pages, and press materials
Print for personal or professional use (framing, portfolios, submissions, etc.)
What's Not Included
Your usage rights don't extend to:
Reselling the images, or reprinting them for profit
Sublicensing the images to a third party for their own commercial use
Using the images to represent a different person, product, or brand than originally intended
Copyright in the photographs remains with Parker Studios Inc. You're licensed to use the images as described above — the copyright itself isn't transferred.
Use by Others
These usage rights apply to the client the photos were taken for. If someone other than the client — an employer, agency, publication, or other third party — wants to use the images, please reach out first. Most reasonable requests (e.g. an agency using a client's headshot on their roster page) are approved quickly; this just makes sure everyone's on the same page.
Photo Credit
Credit isn't required, but it's always appreciated: Photo by Ryan Parker or a link back to ryanparkerphotography.com.
Questions?
If you're unsure whether your intended use is covered, just get in touch — happy to clarify.
Note: for commercial and editorial work through Parker Photo, usage terms are set out in the project contract rather than this page.
