License types

Editorial

For newspapers, magazines, blogs, and non-commercial editorial contexts. Covers news reporting, commentary, and education. Editorial licenses do not permit advertising or promotional use without an upgrade.

Commercial

For advertising, marketing, social media campaigns, websites, and corporate communications where the image promotes a product, service, or brand.

Extended

For large print runs, packaging, merchandise, templates, and multi-market rollouts. Extended licenses include broader indemnification and distribution limits tailored to your brief.

Full terms are outlined on our Licensing page. All preview files on this site are watermarked; licensed deliveries are provided without watermark under agreement.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use a preview in my layout?

Watermarked previews may be used in internal comps and client presentations marked “for layout only.” Any public or published use requires a license.

Do you offer royalty-free images?

No. Our collection is rights-managed only. This protects the value of each image for our clients and ensures usage stays within agreed limits.

What credit line should I use?

Your license agreement specifies the required credit, typically “Bjoern Lexius Photography” or as otherwise stated in your invoice.

How do I report a concern about image use?

Questions about copyright or unauthorized use of our work may be directed to licensing@bjoernlexiusphotography.com. See our Copyright Policy for details.
