We license High Quality Images for commercial and editorial use. We only license Rights Managed Images because it is a fair and practical licensing model that benefits both photographers and clients. The licensing fee for Rights Managed images is based on the way the image will be used. Rights Managed Images are more exclusive, and of a much higher standard than Royalty Free or Micro-stock images. To request a fee to use the images on your lightbox in your publication, please click here.
Oceanwide Images carefully select and stock premium, high resolution wildlife images from some of the best photographers around the world. We know that you will be 100% satisfied with the quality of your licensed image.
How are the fees for Rights Managed licensing calculated?
Oceanwide Images make every attempt to ensure fairness when calculating image licensing fees. Rights Managed licensing fees are calculated by a number of variables including the size of image in the publication, type of publication, geographical distribution of the publication and image placement within the publication.
As each image usage can be very different from client to client, the license fees reflect this and are often different for each project. Therefore, in order to obtain the correct licensing fee, clients first need to select the desired images and either email the details to us directly, or add them to your lightbox and choose Request Fee, Buy Image or Enquire to complete the online licensing request. Registration is free and can be completed at the time the request is put through. We will contact you as soon as possible with the licensing fee quote and organize the image download.
We endeavor to work within your budget wherever possible and offer a personalized service to help you through the licensing process.

Do you offer exclusive rights?
Exclusive licensing rights protects your image from being licensed to anyone else and the fee is determined by the territories included in the license and the time frame (e.g. Worldwide for 2 years or Europe for 1 year).
Most clients choose Non-Exclusive licensing rights because it is the cheaper alternative. Managed Rights Images by the nature of the licensing model, are generally more unique. It is very unlikely that the same image would be used in the same way by two competing businesses.
Who can license images?
Image licensing is available to all registered businesses, such as advertising agencies, book and magazine publishers, marketing consultants, calendar, poster, and greeting card companies, newspapers, government bodies and commercial entities.
Where can images be used?
Images can be licensed for a variety of uses: billboards, display, books, magazines, DVDs and CD covers, bookmarks, calendars, newspapers, advertising, letterheads and business cards, website headers, etc.
Images can be licensed for almost every imaginable purpose.
What are the Image file sizes and what size to you supply?
All of our high quality image files are at least 55mb (approx A3 @ 300dpi), with 90% are available at a larger size. However as we personally process each order individually, we will supply your ordered images at the size correct for your publication, as this produces the best results. For eg, the size typically required for online usage is less than 1mb, so supplying a 55mb file would be superfluous.
