  Purchase Photo Rights

To obtain usage rights for a photo please send an email to photos @ beyonddc.com (remove spaces). Include a description of your intended use and what resolution you require, along with the exact URL of the photo(s) you would like to lease. Please note that while the vast majority of photos on BeyondDC belong to BeyondDC in full, there are a few that we do not have the right to redistribute.

Photos on BeyondDC can be leased according to the following table. All leases are for "shared" rights to photos, which means you are paying a one time usage fee and BeyondDC retains the overall rights to the image. If you require exclusive, unlimited rights to a photo it may be possible to make special arrangements, but that is not our normal policy. Additionally, special arrangements can be made regarding pricing in certain circumstances, if necessary.

Personal use means you are using the photo for yourself. Examples include posting a photo on a message board to help make your case or downloading a photo to use as the wallpaper of your computer desktop.

Non-profit use means you intend to distribute the photo in a publication for non-commercial purposes. Examples include government reports or publications of non-profit organizations.

Commercial use means you intend to distribute the photo in a publication intended to make money. Examples include development advertisements and magazine articles.

Please note that BeyondDC is a non-profit organization and money obtained from selling photo rights is used strictly to recover some of the costs of running the site. BeyondDC has never turned an overall profit and probably never will. That's not why we're here.
