What it does
Cavan Images provides photography and motion content for licensing, alongside custom production. Search and curated galleries support discovery. Its standard agreement grants worldwide, perpetual use for a named client or end user, subject to the permitted uses.
Use Start a new search to research existing material or Curated Galleries to explore a visual direction. Cavan also offers custom production when the catalogue does not meet the brief.
A licence can cover work for one client or end user. Reusing a purchased image for another agency client requires another licence. Editorial Use Only material cannot be used for non-editorial purposes.
The standard agreement excludes on-demand merchandise, products whose main value is the image, and digital templates intended for redistribution. A temporary buy-out can stop Cavan issuing new licences for an agreed period, but rights granted before that period remain valid. Ask the licensing team about uses outside the standard agreement.
