Standard Usage Rights
Includes usage for tour promotion, press releases, social media, EPK (Electronic Press Kit), your website, and other mutually agreed non-commercial promotional activities. Commercial usage (e.g., for merchandise, album art, paid advertising campaigns) is not included as standard and requires a separate discussion and licensing agreement.
Usage Term
For all agreed-upon non-commercial promotional activities (like your website, social media, EPK, and press use), usage is granted in perpetuity. This ensures you can use these images for your ongoing artist promotion without worrying about time limits for these common uses.
Photographer Credit
I kindly request that my name/brand be credited wherever these images are published directly by you or your team (e.g., on your website, social media, in press releases). When you supply images to third parties like venues for show promotion, I appreciate you making a good-faith effort to ensure credit is included where feasible. A waiver for non-attribution on your own direct uses can be arranged for a premium, agreed upon in advance.
Press Delivery
Direct delivery to your press contacts is included at no extra charge when you provide a complete list of contacts and any specific delivery requirements upfront.
Delivery Guarantee
If I miss the promised delivery deadline for any reason, your next show is photographed free of charge—no questions asked.

Frequently Asked Questions
Absolutely! I aim to be as flexible as possible. If you need a show covered with less than 72 hours’ notice, I’ll always do my best to make it happen. For most new or stand-alone last-minute requests (less than 72 hours’ notice), a 20% rush fee helps me rearrange my existing schedule and priorities to ensure your show is covered smoothly and effectively. I’ll always confirm availability and any fees clearly upfront. However, if I’m already on tour with you and you need to add an extra show to our current schedule, that 20% rush fee typically wouldn’t apply, unless the new addition would directly prevent me from meeting other confirmed deadlines (like delivering photos from your previous shows on time). My goal is to be your ‘low effort’ creative partner, especially when we’re already on the road together.
For single shows, booking 3-4 weeks in advance is ideal, and for tour packages, 2-3 months helps ensure I can reserve all your dates. That said, I understand things move fast in the music world! If you have a shorter notice request, please don’t hesitate to reach out. If my schedule allows, I’m always happy to try and accommodate you. And if I’m genuinely unavailable for your dates, I can often suggest another trusted photographer from my network to help you out. My aim is to be as flexible and helpful as possible.
I maintain a network of vetted backup photographers in major European cities who follow my workflow and delivery standards. I’ve only needed to activate this contingency plan once in 20 years, but it ensures you’ll never be left without coverage.
For shows within Belgium and the Netherlands, I am generally self-sufficient for transportation and accommodation. For engagements further afield, it’s standard practice for travel and basic, safe accommodation to be arranged and covered by your team; we can, of course, discuss the simplest and most effective way to handle these logistics. When I travel with you on a tour package, my time is structured to ensure all aspects of your visual needs are met. This typically includes: Show Coverage Days: Days dedicated to photographing your performances. Tour Work & Travel Days: Days focused on essential tasks like editing, content management, and necessary travel between tour stops. We’ll agree on an appropriate day rate for each type of day when discussing your tour package, ensuring all work is fairly compensated.
Your Tour's Story, Captured in Real-Time
When the lights go down, your story goes live. I get your best shots to you within 60 minutes while the crowd's still buzzing and social media is still hot. This means you're not just getting photos; you're getting immediate content that extends the energy of your show and keeps your audience engaged long after the final note.
Fall/Winter 2025 European Tours: Limited Availability
My calendar fills up fast, especially for those critical dates or last minute needs. To make sure your key shows are covered and your content is delivered when you need it most, it's best to book 8–12 weeks in advance.
Lock in your dates now. Seriously, before someone else does.
