Licensing images
I assembled some general information on the matter of licensing Views of the Earth images here. If you are interested in licensing an image from me or having a custom image produced for your purposes you should read this. If you have further questions or want to make an image inquiry you can contact me.
First of all the Views of the Earth are not available to be licensed for arbitrary purposes. So even if you find one of my images to be very suited for your purposes it won't be possible to license it unless the intended use is directly related to my work. In such cases i decide on a per case basis and there will be no or only a nominal license fee.
There are a number of views available that are not among the Views of the Earth and that have been created for other purposes. These views are available for licensing.
What i also offer is creating custom views for specific uses. These can be based on existing Views of the Earth or completely new views of areas not yet covered. Such commissioned views are created according to customer specifications and can be licensed for a wide scope of uses including exclusive licensing.
Pricing for this depends on the particular subject of the view, the necessary data preparation work and the size of the image required. Prices are moderate compared to custom CG artwork elsewhere but they are of course not comparable to stock photographs.
I also made available some of the Views of the Earth under a Creative Commons license.
