Rights clarity

Editorial use only

No model releases

Recognizable people in this archive have not signed model releases. Images may be considered for bona fide news, commentary, criticism, documentary and other editorial contexts only.

Not for commercial promotion

Do not use these images in advertising, endorsements, product packaging, merchandise, brand campaigns or any context that suggests a person supports a product, service or organization.

Original FlickDirect content only

Direct licensing applies only when FlickDirect confirms it owns or controls the photograph. FlickDirect cannot grant rights to studio, distributor, wire-service, publicity or other third-party assets.

Written approval is required

Every license identifies the image, publication, editorial context, platforms, territory, term and required credit. A request or public preview does not itself grant permission.

No reproduction, embedding, scraping, redistribution, AI training, dataset creation or synthetic-generation use is authorized by public access to this site. A written editorial license is required before reuse.

Common questions

Photo licensing FAQ

Is attribution required?

Approved editorial uses require a clear, visible Celebrity Photo Wire / FlickDirect credit and any additional credit specified in the written license.

Can I use a photo on social media?

Only when the written license includes that platform and the post remains tied to the approved news or editorial story. Brand promotion is not permitted.

Can I use a photo in advertising?

No. These photos have no model releases and are not offered for advertising, endorsements, merchandise, product packaging or promotional campaigns.

How do packages work?

The five-image newsroom pack covers one publication under written editorial terms. Publications needing images regularly can request a custom recurring archive plan.
