So you want your images to be licensed? Creative Commons licences can help you expand the exposure of your images. Follow the step-by-step guide below.

—————-

Depending on the nature of the work you want to cover, will define how you can licence the work. Your work could be:

• an electronic file format meaning you embed metadata into the file

 

you can also add a physical notice of your licence on your image.
