What is an editorial license in EyeEm

The editorial license applies to photos that will be used strictly for non-commercial purposes, or for newsworthy events that are of general interest to the public, e.g. magazines & newspapers, blogs, newsworthy & general interest events.

What are releases in EyeEm

Releases are permissions. They help photos sell with a commercial license. Each identifiable person or property needs a release. If your photo features a recognizable subject or private property - like homes, logos, design elements or artwork - you need permission from a person and/or property owner to make the photo available for commercial use on Market. If you don't get releases, photos can still be sold with an editorial license. Add releases by clicking a photo.

How much will I earn

You have the chance to profit from each photo added to Market, each time it sells. As clients can only buy licenses to your photos, never the exclusive rights, a popular photo can sell hundreds of times. All revenue will be spilt 50/50 between you and EyeEm.

What is EyeEm Market

EyeEm Market allows you to offer photos from your profile for sale. Photos you upload to EyeEm attract a lot of interest from global brands, agencies, magazines and other creative industries. Market lets you earn money for doing what you already do best: taking real, authentic photography. Photos are made available through licensing. This means: buyers can use your photos and you keep the copyright and ownership of what you decide to sell. You’re always in control
