Digital Download License

This page describes the usage rights that come with every digital download purchased from DW8 Photography. When you buy a photograph, you receive a license — not a transfer of ownership. The copyright always remains with the photographer, David Weight.

What You Receive

Your purchase includes one high-resolution, watermark-free JPEG file of the photograph. The file is delivered at full resolution, suitable for professional printing at sizes up to 24×36 inches and beyond at 300 DPI. The color space is sRGB, which is the standard accepted by virtually all print labs.

Permitted Uses

  • Print the photo for personal display in your home or office, at any size, on any paper, through any lab you choose.
  • Use the photo as a desktop or phone wallpaper.
  • Use the image in personal, non-commercial projects such as a personal website or blog, provided you credit "Photo by David Weight — DW8 Photography".
  • Give the printed photo as a gift (the file itself may not be shared — only physical prints you produce).
  • Print multiple copies for your own household or as personal gifts.

Prohibited Uses

  • Resell, sublicense, or redistribute the digital file in any form, whether standalone or as part of a template, mockup, or product.
  • Use the photo for commercial purposes — including advertising, marketing, product packaging, book covers, album art, or any use intended to generate revenue — without obtaining a commercial license first.
  • Use the photo in any AI training dataset or feed it to any generative AI tool.
  • Remove or alter any metadata embedded in the file.
  • Claim the photograph as your own work.
  • Use the photo in a way that defames, disparages, or misrepresents the photographer or the subject matter.

Copyright

All photographs on this site are © 2026 David Weight / DW8 Photography. All rights reserved. The purchase of a digital download grants a personal-use license as described above; it does not transfer copyright ownership.

Commercial Licensing

If you need to use a photograph commercially — for advertising, editorial, product packaging, or any revenue-generating purpose — a separate commercial license is required. Please contact us to discuss terms and pricing.
