A screen is one of the ways to see a photograph and it is not the only one. The sequences in this archive were edited to be met in order, one after another, at a size where the whole frame sits inside your field of view at once. A print is the version of the work that does that, and it is the version the work is finished for.
Three kinds of request are answered here, and they are answered differently. What they have in common is that nothing is agreed until it is written down, and nothing is paid before that.
Nothing on this site is behind a payment and nothing will be. Buying a print is not how the archive is paid for — it is how a photograph leaves the screen. / 网站上的内容不会因为付费才开放。买一张印片不是这个档案的收入来源,而是一张照片离开屏幕的方式。

A print for a room
You choose the photograph, or the sequence. Size, paper and finish are settled together first, because each file was prepared for a particular surface and a different one undoes it. Prints are made to order at a lab that prints for exhibitions, checked one by one before they are sent, and signed and numbered on the back. A print can be asked for at any size the file carries; where a picture cannot be enlarged further without showing it, you will be told so instead of being sold the larger one.
These sequences were edited as sequences, and most of them have never been shown as one. If you programme a space and want a series, say which series and how much wall there is; what comes back is a hanging plan with sizes, a price for the set, and a date it can be ready. Prints can be made for the run of the show, and what happens to them afterwards — kept, returned, or sold on — is agreed before they are made rather than after.
For a magazine, a book, a record sleeve, a film, a talk, a classroom or a piece of research. A licence names the photographs, the use, the territory and the term, and then it is written down and signed by both sides. Nothing in this archive is stock and none of it sits in a picture library, so a request is answered by the person who made the pictures, usually the same day. Student and non-commercial use is answered differently from commercial use — say which one it is and the answer will fit it.
The photographs are not licensed for training machine-learning models, they are not sold as files to be redistributed or resold, and they are not placed in stock libraries. That is the whole of the list. Advertising, political campaigns and anything that would put a photograph next to a claim it cannot support are answered case by case, and the answer is often no. If you are not sure which side of this your use falls on, ask — an enquiry costs nothing and a wrong assumption costs a lot.
Four things make a request answerable in one reply: which photograph or series, what it is for, how large or how many, and the date you need it by. If you came here from a photograph, the link you arrived on is already in the message. Prices are quoted per request rather than published as a list, because a print for a wall and a picture in a magazine are not the same object — but the quote arrives before anything is paid, and it does not change afterwards.
