Commercial Image Licensing
Of Abba’s Creations Photography
All photographs featured on this site are available for commercial licensing. Abba’s Creations Photography specializes in ultra-high-resolution landscape photography for architectural-scale applications, including wall murals, corporate and hospitality interiors, healthcare environments, museums, visitor centers and other large-format installations.
Many of the original photographs contain several gigapixels of native resolution. However, most projects do not require the entire full-resolution master file. A production file can be prepared at the resolution appropriate for the finished installation dimensions, anticipated viewing distance, substrate and fabrication process.
License pricing is based on the resolution of the production file required for the project, not simply the native resolution of the original photograph.
A project requiring a 500-megapixel production file from a 5-gigapixel photograph is licensed as a 500-megapixel file. The customer does not have to license all 5 gigapixels simply because that resolution exists in the original photograph.
Estimate Your Image License Cost
Our Architectural Image License Cost Estimator can help determine the approximate production-file resolution required for a project. Enter the finished installation width and height along with the typical viewing distance. The estimator calculates a suggested planning resolution, production dimensions with bleed, required pixel dimensions and estimated retail image license fee.

How License Pricing Works
Rather than placing every image into a small number of broad resolution categories, license pricing increases progressively with the actual production-file resolution supplied for the project.
- 100 MP production file: $200 reference retail license
- 1 GP production file: $995 reference retail license
- 15 GP production file: $5,695 reference retail license
Pricing is graduated between these reference points according to the production-file resolution actually required. Production files below 100 MP are priced competitively with conventional commercial stock photography, based on the intended use and licensing requirements. Projects requiring more than 15 GP are quoted individually.
These prices cover the image license only. Printing, fabrication, materials, shipping and installation are not included.
Standard Commercial License
A standard commercial license generally covers one photograph for one End Customer project at one physical location. A continuous mural or installation may consist of multiple physical panels without requiring separate image licenses for each panel.
- Non-exclusive image license.
- One photograph, one End Customer project and one physical location.
- Production file prepared at the resolution reasonably required for the approved installation.
- Copyright and ownership of the photographic artwork remain with Abba’s Creations Photography.
- Additional locations or installations require additional licensing.
- Production files may not be redistributed or used to create unrelated products or installations.
Review the Commercial Image License Agreement
Licensing arrangements can also be developed for qualified repeat commercial customers, manufacturers, art consultants, designers, fabricators and other organizations requiring multiple installations. Custom terms may also be considered for exclusivity or other specialized applications.
Discuss Your Project
If you already know the approximate dimensions and viewing conditions for your installation, the License Cost Estimator provides a useful planning estimate. For unusual installations, very large production files or projects involving multiple locations, contact John Freeman to discuss the requirements directly.
