Stock Photography

Stock photography is existing photography that is available for licensing from photographers for a particular use. When you need to produce a creative piece to meet a deadline, you may not have the time or the budget to contract with a photographer for an assignment shoot. A practical alternative is to purchase the reproduction rights to an already existing image, or stock photo. Photo Buyers & Publishers can license Nelcha's images for use in magazines, books, catalogs, calendars, trade show exhibits, etc.

Celebrations Unlimited has thousands of publication quality images of nature, wildlife, landscapes and flowers from across North America. We, also, specialize in images from the ghost town of Bodie (state Historic Park) in California.

All images are original 35mm or 4x5 transparencies, created with either Fujichrome Velvia, Sensia, Provia or Kodak 100VS films (all have superb resolution, color saturation, and contrast), and were photographed with the highest quality Canon lenses or Linhof / CalTar / Rodenstock equipment. The images retain their sharpness, whether reproduced as a small photo in a magazine or as a huge billboard for advertising purposes.

Our stock photography rates are very competitive and are based on industry guidelines. Prices can vary based on the usage requested, the number of photos to be used, size and press run. Will the image be used for advertising, editorial, or educational purposes? In what medium will it be used (magazine, textbook, advertisement, billboard, packaging, annual report, exhibit, presentation, etc.)? What will the circulation of the finished piece be (magazine circulation, press run for a book, how many billboards will be produced, etc.)? For how long will the image be used (one issue of a magazine, 6 months for a billboard, etc.)? Size and placement of reproduction (1/4 page, 1/2 page, full page, 2-page spread, cover, etc.)

Celebrations Unlimited can provide you with the image you need either as original 35mm transparencies, or if you prefer, as a high- resolution digital file in the format of your choice. We will be happy to assist you in finding the perfect images for your project with no charges for research fees. We always try to expedite urgent requests.

On our delivery memos, we state a $1,500 minimum replacement Value on any original image that is lost or damaged, with some special images valued at $2000.00. Duplicates have a replacement charge of $50.00
