Terms of service
Using Personal Information
I use your email to contact you about headshot sessions and related photography services. I don't like spam either. Your email won't be sold, distributed, or used inappropriately.
Use of Images
My approach is simple: no routine image licence fees, no watermarks and no additional usage fees for the photographs you purchase as part of your session.
Your Photographs
When you purchase and receive your finished photographs from Peter Istvan Photography, you are granted permission to use those images for your personal and professional purposes, including websites, social media, business profiles, marketing materials, publications and other uses related to your personal or professional identity.
There is no need to purchase an additional licence for these ordinary uses. I have just one small request: please avoid applying social media filters to your professionally edited images.
Unless we agree otherwise in writing, Peter Istvan Photography retains copyright in the photographs. Your permission to use delivered images does not transfer copyright ownership or give you the right to sell, sublicense or transfer the photographs to unrelated third parties as stock images or standalone photographic products.
If you would like to purchase copyright ownership or arrange additional usage rights, please contact me. These arrangements can be discussed individually.
Use of Your Photographs by Peter Istvan Photography
With your permission, I may use photographs from your session in my professional portfolio, on my website, on social media, in exhibitions, in promotional materials or in other examples of my photography.
If you have questions or concerns about how your photographs may be displayed, please contact me.
Copyright and Licensing of Website Images
Unless otherwise identified, photographs and photographic artwork displayed on this website are created by Peter Istvan and are protected by copyright.
Copyright in photographs identified as works of Peter Istvan Photography is retained by Peter Istvan Photography unless ownership has been transferred through a separate written agreement. Images supplied by other photographers or organizations remain subject to their respective owners' rights.
This includes photographs appearing in my professional headshot and portrait galleries, blog articles, promotional materials and community photography projects, including the People of Parry Sound Project.
Images displayed publicly on this website are provided for viewing and informational purposes. Their appearance on the website does not grant visitors a general licence to download, reproduce, publish, redistribute, sell, modify or use them for commercial purposes.
Please do not assume that an image is free to use simply because it appears in Google Images, on social media or elsewhere online.
Any use permitted by applicable copyright law remains unaffected by these terms.
Requesting Permission to Use an Image
I welcome enquiries from individuals, businesses, community organizations, publishers and media outlets interested in using my photographs.
If you would like permission to reproduce, publish, share or otherwise use an image displayed on this website, please contact me before using it.

To help me respond to your request, please include:
- A link to the photograph or the page where it appears.
- A brief description of how you would like to use it.
- Where the photograph will be published or displayed.
- Whether the intended use is personal, editorial, community-related or commercial.
- Any publication deadlines or other relevant details.
I will review your request and let you know whether permission can be granted, whether photo credit is required and whether any additional terms or fees apply. Permission is not granted until confirmed by me.
For approved uses, the requested photo credit is: Photo: Peter Istvan Photography, unless we agree on different wording.
