Everything we do is built around one idea: a copyright claim is only as strong as its paperwork.
We handle copyright matters across whole photography portfolios. The approach is methodical and proportionate — not aggressive — and every case follows the same documented path:
Automated image-matching finds the photograph in use; a human reviews every match before a case is opened.
Full-page screenshots, independent web archives, page metadata and technical data — preserved at the moment of discovery, before anything can change.
We verify the chain of rights — authorship, registration where applicable, and the agreement that authorises us to act — before anyone is contacted.
Commercial or personal, scale of audience, duration of use, attribution, prior licensing history. The assessment drives a proportionate licence fee, not a one-size-fits-all demand.
A clear letter with a case reference, the evidence, the basis of the claim and the options available — including simply talking to us.
Most cases close with a retrospective licence or settlement. Where a matter can't be resolved amicably, we prepare it for formal legal action with the evidence already court-ready.
Behind every case is the infrastructure that makes it defensible. We centralise the records that matter — original works, licence history, agreements, correspondence — and manage every matter through a structured case system with clear status tracking and a full audit trail for legal and financial reporting.
The same system integrates third-party image-matching services, web-archive capture, company and domain research, and perceptual-hash verification that confirms a found image really is the original — not just something similar.
Already using an image we manage? In most cases the matter can be closed by licensing the use that has already happened — quickly, in writing, at a published fee.
If the image is working for you, keep it. We can put a forward licence in place so the use continues on clear, agreed terms.
Publishers, agencies and businesses can approach us directly to license work from the portfolios we manage — before a letter is ever needed.
Whether you've received a letter, want to license an image, or are a photographer with an archive that needs minding — the fastest route is a short email with your case reference or portfolio details.
