COPYRIGHT IS SERIOUS BUSINESS

R. Ian Lloyd Production's images are protected by international copyright. This is NOT clip art. These are NOT royalty-free images. We own these images and make our living by licensing the right to use them for commercial purposes in advertising, editorial, graphic design, multimedia, and just about anything else you can think of.

Our images are presented on the Internet for viewing purposes only, for the benefit of commercial users of photography and illustration. Our images may not be reproduced in any manner whatsoever without the prior written consent of R. Ian Lloyd Productions and subject to the payment of licensing fees based on how the images will be used.

It is illegal to copy or use portions of our images whether by photomechanical reproduction, scanning, digital reproduction, or as reference for another illustration. Likewise, incorporating all or part of an image in another image constitutes an infringement of copyright. Changing an image does not make it yours: the original image, however modified or distorted, is still protected by copyright.

Professional users of images are encouraged to contact R. Ian Lloyd Productions to obtain selections of reproduction-quality images, catalogues, price quotations and other information.

Infringement of copyright is a serious offence, subject to severe penalties under law. If you want to use someone else's image, get the permission of the copyright owner - in writing - before making any copy or derivative use.
