You make the pictures. We mind the rights.
Your photographs are almost certainly in use right now on websites that never licensed them. Chasing that down is slow, awkward work — and it isn’t why you picked up a camera. It is, however, exactly what we do all day.
Every unlicensed use is a licence you didn’t sell.
It’s more common than you think
A single successful photograph can collect dozens of unlicensed commercial uses over its life — travel sites, blogs, brochures, product pages — each one quietly displacing a sale.
It’s miserable to chase yourself
Finding the uses is only the start. Screenshots that hold up, ownership records, fee assessment, polite-but-firm correspondence, follow-ups, escalation — done properly, each case is hours of work.
It’s solvable at scale
We run image matching, evidence capture and case management as one pipeline across your archive, so the long tail of uses gets worked — not just the one you happened to spot.
Four steps, none of them yours.
Catalogue
We index your archive — image fingerprints, authorship records, licence history — and agree in writing which works we act on and on what terms.
Match
Image matching finds your work in use online. Every candidate is compared with your original before it becomes a case.
Resolve
We contact the user, present the evidence and settle the past use with a retrospective licence, escalating to formal action only where it’s warranted.
Report & pay
When a matter settles, you receive your share with a clear statement.
Straightforward, commission-based, no surprises.
No recovery, no fee
We work on commission. If a case recovers nothing, you pay us no fee.
Written terms
We act under a written agreement that sets out which works we act on and how. Every letter we send names you as the photographer.
Your reputation, protected
Every letter is evidence-backed, professional and in writing, and sets out the licence conditions your work was published under.
Getting started takes an afternoon, not a month.
Your archive
High-resolution originals or a link to your existing library — Commons, your agency, your own site. We build the fingerprint index from there.
Your paper trail
Proof of authorship and any existing licences or agency agreements, so every claim we make stands on a clean chain of rights. If your records are a mess, we’ll help you tidy them — that’s part of the job.
Send us one photograph.
Pick the image of yours you suspect travels furthest, and email it to us with a line about where it’s been published. We’ll come back with what we find — and you can judge us on that.
