Cost sharing

When considering sharing the cost of architectural photography, you can team up with all parties who worked on the project and benefit from professional images. Here is a short list of who you can share the cost with:

Architects – Presenting the design in portfolios, competitions and marketing.
Interior designers – Highlighting furniture, materials and colour schemes.
Construction companies and craftsmen – Showing the quality of execution and workmanship.
Product manufacturers and suppliers – Showcasing materials, furniture or accessories in real projects.
Developers and estate agents – Marketing properties with professional photos.
Landscape architects – Photos of outdoor spaces in harmony with the architecture.
Lighting designers and suppliers – Presenting the lighting and its effect on the atmosphere.
Glazing and shading – Showing good work with daylight in the interior.
Branding and marketing teams – Photos aligned with promotion and brand goals.
Bespoke craftsmen and makers – Showcasing unique commissions such as joinery or glasswork.
Property owners or tenants – Presenting properties or brands with professional visuals.

A: Unlimited cost sharing

With an unlimited licence you can pass individual photos or the whole set on, without limits, to the parties that worked on the photographed project. How you settle with them is up to you.
In any case, every party must sign a licence agreement.

B: Sharing the cost of the whole project with third parties

Sharing the price with other parties involved in the photographed project is the best way to lower your cost. The calculated price is invoiced separately to each third party and to you. This gives the third party a licence to use the photos. Of course, you can also buy licences yourself and later pass them on to third parties involved in the project. How you settle with them is entirely up to you. In any case, every party must sign a licence agreement.

Sharing the project price with third parties must be agreed before the shoot.

C: Licensing individual project photos to a third party

If a third party involved in the project is only interested in a limited number of photos, so that a licence for the whole project makes no sense, they can buy individual photos, and you get a discount on the project from them.
