Image Licensing & Creative Use Rights
At Shakey Finger Photography, we’re committed to protecting the integrity of our work while supporting the creativity of the people who use it, from designers and marketers to business owners and everyday clients.
​
All images are licensed under standard New Zealand copyright law, which means Shakey Finger Photography retains full authorship and ownership of every photograph.
When you purchase or request imagery, you are purchasing usage rights, not the copyright itself.
These usage rights specify how the image can be used, whether for design projects, commercial branding, editorial publication, social media, or personal display.
​
Our licensing options are designed to be simple, transparent, and easy to navigate. We provide clear guidance on:
​
-
Personal Use | prints, gifts, home display, and non-commercial projects
-
Commercial Use | business websites, marketing materials, advertising, branding
-
Editorial Use | news media, magazines, blogs, publications
-
Designer/Agency Use, creative projects on behalf of your clients, with optional extended licences
​
This approach ensures you have the freedom to use imagery confidently and legally, while we continue to protect the originality and essence of the work.
​
If you’re unsure which licence fits your project, we’re always here to help, making the process straightforward, respectful, and aligned with best practice across Aotearoa.​
