Author Photo Agreement

Version 1.0

This agreement establishes the permitted use, credit, ownership, and compensation terms for author photographs created by Fashionista Studios.

1. Scope of usage

The author may use the delivered photographs for book covers, author websites, promotional materials, social media, press kits, and related publicity, subject to the selected license and any written approval for uses outside that scope.

2. Time and media limits

The license applies only to the stated project, campaign, media, territory, and term identified in the signed request. It does not grant perpetual, unlimited, or transferable rights unless Fashionista Studios confirms those rights in a fully countersigned written agreement.

3. Copyright and ownership

Fashionista Studios and its photographer retain all copyrights in the photographs. No work-for-hire arrangement or copyright transfer is created unless a separate written agreement expressly says so and is signed by both parties.

4. Credit and attribution

Where public or printed credit is customary or reasonably practicable, the author or publisher will credit Fashionista Studios or the named photographer as “Photo by [Photographer Name].”

5. Fees and additional uses

Session fees cover only the agreed initial scope. Publishers, distributors, or other parties seeking expanded rights, additional media, broader territory, longer terms, or new campaign uses must obtain written approval and may be charged additional licensing fees.
