‘Commercial Use’ regarding the use of images online or offline is defined very broadly. The determination of commercial or non-commercial use is based on the contextual use of the image.

Commercial use of our images is allowed only if expressly granted by Stephanie Rowe. All commercial uses will incur a licensing fee. Our fees are based on the following criteria:

• Media – print, web, television, etc.

• Prominence of Display – 1/4 page, 1/2 page, full page, spread, front cover, back cover, home page (online), interior page (online), etc.
