Usage & Licensing
Subjects & School Programs
Photos provided to you are 100% free to use across your personal social media, athletic profiles (e.g., HUDL, recruiting boards), and portfolios! They may also be published freely by official school-sponsored programs (e.g., yearbooks, student newspapers, athletic department feeds). All I ask is that you leave the watermark intact (on images provided with no payment) and provide credit:
e.g., "Photo by GK Naill | gknaill.com"
This policy applies strictly to non-commercial and personal use. Copyright remains solely with the photographer; you may not resell, sub-license, or distribute these images to third parties or commercial entities. If an outside party requests to use or publish your photos, please direct them to my site.
Commercial & External Media
If you are not a featured subject in the photos or an authorized representative of a school program, all unauthorized use, reproduction, or publication is strictly prohibited and subject to licensing fees. Please refer to the Licensing & Copyright Terms on my main site.
Subject Clearance & Model Releases:
-
Editorial & News Outlets: Because these photographs feature recognizable individuals, permission from the featured subject(s) is required prior to publication for their comfort and privacy.
-
Commercial & Brand Use: Any commercial or advertising use requires the purchasing brand or agency to secure an independent commercial model release directly with the featured subject (or their parent/legal guardian if under 18).
