Stock Images & Assignment

All AKNP images are rights-managed. We have no royalty-free images for use.

Stock Images

Our stock-image library is not online. These high-calibre images are accurately captioned and transferable in several formats to meet your editorial and commercial needs. Simply Contact Us with your requirements and we can email you watermarked low-res Jpeg’s for your review. Your requirement’s description can be as general as a habitat or geography, e.g., oceans or a Provincial Park, or as specific as individual flora and fauna.

AKNP focuses on Canada with images from the east and west coasts and a current concentration on Ontario and Quebec. Our stock image library is continually updated with new images from the field. Visit our BLOG for the stock images captured on our most recent shoot.

If you would like to publish a gallery image, AKNP considers the editorial or commercial use of gallery images on a case-by-case basis. Only if the use in no way decreases the value of our clients’ investment in art, or conflicts with any other license in effect at the time, can the gallery image be processed as a licensed stock image for your specific use. Contact Us for specific copyright approval.

Right To:
Reproduce, Adapt, Publicly Display, Publicly Distribute

Kinds of Rights:
One-Time, First-Time, Serial (Periodicals), Promotion, Electronic
