Usage & licensing.

Ownership & copyright

All original photographs displayed on this website are the work and property of William M. Everett III (William Everett) / Second Light Studio. Copyright and associated ownership rights remain with the photographer unless expressly transferred in a separate written agreement.

Fine-art prints & personal display

Obtaining a physical fine-art print permits display of that particular physical print. It does not transfer copyright, ownership of the underlying image, reproduction rights, commercial rights, or permission to create additional copies.

Commissioned photography

Usage permissions for commissioned sessions, commercial projects, editorial assignments, and event coverage are defined by the applicable written agreement. Delivering a photograph does not, by itself, grant unlimited rights or transfer ownership.

Commercial & editorial licensing

Use in advertising, promotional materials, websites, publications, brand campaigns, merchandise, or other commercial and editorial contexts requires prior written permission and an appropriate license. Terms depend on the intended use, distribution, duration, and scope.

Unauthorized reproduction

Photographs may not be copied, reproduced, modified, distributed, reposted for commercial purposes, or otherwise used beyond the permissions granted in writing.

Request permission

For licensing requests, publication inquiries, commercial use, or clarification about an existing agreement, contact Will@secondlightstudio.net or start a licensing inquiry.
