Hi Soc, you are still the owner of the copyrights, the sites that sell the photo usually request that the buyer only use that in only one location per purchase. So if you bought a photo you pay once to use it in let’s say a site header and then if you want to use it in another animation then you buy it again. Some sites also ask you if you want to sell different type of permissions, for example you set a price of 20 times the photo to allow a buyer to use it in multiple prints, or sell the full rights for 100x times the price of the photo, these additional licences are optional.

Quick Question.
Who holds the copyright/ownership or what have you of the photo you took?
Especially if you use these sites?

Good point Helen Bascom, I noticed it too, some stock photos site reject some of my photos that are top sellers on other site, I guess approval just depends on what they need at that moment.

I’ve submitted about 100 stock photos to various sites and get different responses about the same photos. Once site loves a shot, another rejects the same photo. The submission guidelines for various sites all seem the same. Is good photography, like beauty, “in the eye of the beholder?”
