The license typically covers territories, the intended use of the image (commercial or editorial) as well as the number of copies and the duration.
The alternative would be a Royalty Free License (RF), but despite the name, this license is not free, it does involve a cost too. RF means that the pur
chaser can use the photo with fewer restrictions compared to Rights Managed images.
The downside to Royalty Free images is that they cannot be purchased on an exclusive basis. For some project, it might be better to use RF content. Please contact us so we can advise you on a case by case basis.
Go online to bridgemanimages.com, find the image you want, select the license that fits your needs, pay the
fee related to your selection (between 20£ and 50£) and download the high-resolution file immediately.

| A high-end design agency wouldn’t like you to pitch them an image for a campaign, only to find out later it’s being used on the other side of the world for a constipation medicine. |
If you are looking for an image for a beautiful hardcover book that epitomises the “Importance of safe driving,” you may want to check with the photographer that the same image hasn’t also been used in a book on reckless driving, and so on. |
It’s also important to remember that your Rights Managed image has been created and is managed by professionals, not an enthusiastic (even if extremely talented!) DIYer at home. More and more Royalty Free images are taken by amateurs because professional photographers can’t make a living with the royalties paid to them by these licences. |
Because the creator of the image or the video is a professional figure and owns the right of his/her work and you need to pay a fee to distribute his/her content.

At Bridgeman Images our solid understanding of budget and RM licences helps us tailor specific requirements for your needs, which on many occasions can even work out cheaper than utilising RF for your projects. Contact us for further information.
