Commissioned Photography Pricing and Stock Photography Use Fees

• Photography commissioned for a client’s department, college, or division is provided to that client for their continued use. No use fees will be assessed when that department, college, or division reuses commissioned photography. Hourly rates for commissioned photography includes time spent on photography labor and postproduction. Due to the nature that only a percentage of actual photography production costs are recovered, resulting photographs will be made available as stock photography to the CSU community.
• Photography use fees will be assessed for the use of photographs not commissioned by your department, college, or division. Please note that in some cases photographs depicting your department’s activities, professors, students, and research may be included in some photographs, it cannot be assumed that your department, college, or division commissioned the photography and as such use fees will apply.
