Moral and economic rights:
The photographer remains the legal author of the photographs produced during photo shoots or in the darkroom (Intellectual Property Code, Articles L.111-1 et seq.). The provision of image files does not imply an automatic transfer of copyright.
Moral rights:
Moral rights are inalienable: the client undertakes not to modify the image files (cropping, removal of signature, digital filters) without the photographer’s written consent. The credit ‘Laurent Galliano – Proxiluz Photographie’ or equivalent must be included for any professional or public use (e.g. website, social media, advertising).
Conditions for the transfer of usage rights:
The provision of photographic works includes rights for private or professional use, depending on the nature of the client. This right is granted for an unlimited period and covers:

• For private individuals: Strictly family and private use. 

• For professionals: Use necessary for day-to-day business activities (e.g. showcase website, organic social media, product listings, property advertisements). This right of use is personal, non-transferable and non-sub-licensable.

Any use outside this scope must be subject to a specific option mentioned in the quote and invoiced according to the current price list:
     🔀 Transfer to a third party: Authorises the transfer of usage rights to a third party (partner, supplier, press).
     📢 Advertising Rights: Required for any use involving the purchase of advertising space (paid advertising, poster campaigns, mass-distributed flyers).
     🤐 Commercial Exclusivity: Guarantees the client sole rights to use the images. The photographer undertakes not to publish them (portfolio, social media).
     🔒 Total Confidentiality: Protocol of absolute professional secrecy (anonymity and total non-disclosure, even privately).  
Use by the photographer:
By default, the client authorises Proxiluz to use certain images from the shoot for its own promotional purposes (portfolio, social media, exhibitions). This agreement is granted for an indefinite period, whilst respecting the image of the individuals.
The client may limit or remove this right of publication by subscribing to the protection options mentioned above:
     🤐 Commercial Exclusivity: Removes the photographer’s right of publication (portfolio/social media).
     🔒 Total Confidentiality: Guarantees absolute professional secrecy (service not disclosed).
If no subscription is taken out, the customer retains the right to withdraw at a later date in accordance with the section entitled ‘Right to be forgotten’.
Special case regarding illustrative and interior design photographs (Photo Library):
For images purchased directly via the online photo library, the purchaser is granted a non-exclusive right of private or professional use. The credit “Laurent Galliano – Proxiluz Photographie” must be included for any professional, commercial or editorial use. Any modification, resale, sub-licensing or transfer to third parties is strictly prohibited without prior consent.
