Ways to work together
Start with the outcome.
You do not need to arrive knowing which licence you need. Tell me where the photography will appear, who will see it and how long you expect to use it, and I’ll recommend the clearest option.
Brand & editorial licensing
Distinctive fine-art imagery for websites, campaigns, publishing, packaging or social content, licensed for agreed use.

Imagine this
A local gallery that belongs to your place.
For a lodge in Aotearoa, I might photograph the harakeke, coastal grasses, river light and garden forms already part of the property, then create a cohesive set for guest rooms, shared spaces and the lodge website.
The result is not decoration borrowed from anywhere. It is a visual story rooted in your surroundings, giving guests a stronger sense of where they are and something they can experience only there.

Licensing questions
What affects the licence price?
Price reflects the type of use, audience size, duration, territory, number of images and whether exclusivity is required.
Do I own the photographs?
Usually, no. You receive permission to use the images in the agreed ways while copyright remains with Debra Ellen. Full copyright purchase can be discussed separately.
Can you photograph a particular plant or location?
Yes, subject to season, access and travel. A commission proposal will set out what is possible before the photography begins.
