Frequently Asked Questions

Personal non-commercial use is allowed — for example, setting a photo as a phone or desktop wallpaper.

Any public and commercial use without a license is prohibited. To use legally, you need to purchase a license from me.

Such use is an offense. The fact will be detected and documented, after which you will be offered post-licensing at a price 10 times the base license cost (after payment you may continue using the photo under the issued license).

If you refuse post-licensing, a court will recover compensation equal to 20 times the license price, ban further use, and legal and court costs will be imposed on you.

Prohibited uses:

  • Resale of images
  • Creating competing stock photo libraries
  • Pornographic or offensive content
  • Defamation or discrimination
  • Infringement of third-party copyrights
  • Use as a trademark
  • Transferring the license to third parties
  • Violation of the laws of the Russian Federation and other countries

An image provided under an Editorial license can be used to illustrate news and chronicles. It can also be used to illustrate items of public value, including in the following areas: art, business, culture, health and fitness, lifestyle, social events, technology and travel.

An image sold with an editorial license can only be used in news or general publications and cannot be used for commercial purposes.

Cloning, copying or pasting, removing or modifying image elements is not allowed. You cannot crop the photo in such a way that changes the context of what is shown in the original version.

When using, the data about the place of purchase of the image and authorship must be indicated: "https://stock.rdrv.ru / Mikhail Gnatkovskiy".

This label marks photos that you can only purchase on this site. Such photos have never been sold anywhere before.
