For Editorial Licensing

Editors wishing to license Lee Foster’s rights-managed photos for republishing or other commercial use can do so at Lee’s PhotoShelter site at

http://stockphotos.fostertravel.com.

The process is quite simple and smooth for the 6,000 photos available.

Editors can Search the site for appropriate photos, or they can have Lee Search it for them.

The editor needs to register on the site.  There is no cost or obligation to register as a photo buyer.  The same registration can be used on all PhotoShelter sites.  Once registered, the editor can make a gallery or see a gallery that Lee makes and sends to the editor.  

Lee is happy to assist photo buyers in their searches and in the making of galleries.  Galleries are more useful than lightboxes because there can be batch downloads from galleries.

If they prefer, editors can arrange photo licenses without any contact with Lee.  Editors can look at individual photos and put them in the Shopping Cart and check out, paying with a credit card for the use indicated.  Lee’s automatic price is set at 50% of fotoQuote. 

However, many editors prefer to work in a more personal way with Lee.  Make contact with him, arrive at an understanding on price, and Lee can set  the editor up as a Trusted Client.  This gives the editor the privilege of downloading a hi-res of anything at any time.  Lee sees the download.  Lee and the editor can keep in email contact as the photo goes through the selection process.  When the editor confirms that the photo will be used,  Lee can send the editor a QuickBooks invoice.  This is often the best procedure for an editor under a tight deadline and uncertain about which photos will appear in a final layout.

An editor who is a Trusted Client can do a hi-res download by clicking on any thumbnail to see the photo enlarged.   Above the enlarged photo and to the left is Download.  If the editor is logged in using the email in Lee’s Trusted Client list, the editor will get the prompt to download without payment (at that time) for any of several desired file sizes.  Downloads are fairly swift.

If there are any questions, contact Lee at lee@fostertravel.com, 510-549-2202.
