Since our beginnings in 1994, original photography has always played a strategic role for Paperjam S.A., today the publisher of Paperjam.

 

We have discovered many photographic talents, while also working with established photographers in Luxembourg, across Europe, and elsewhere in the world.

 

Photography can be an artistic expression, but also journalism — and in the best cases, both at the same time.

 

Our approach has always been to promote original creation, to work with photographers, and to use archive photos, stock images, or supplied visuals only in exceptional cases, most often linked to deadlines.

 

This choice allows the publications of the independent publisher to stand out through quality and originality. It is also an investment and a way to differentiate ourselves from other publications, and to develop a visual language unique to the world of our media brands.

 

We have chosen to reserve these photographs for our readers and not to see them published elsewhere.

LICENSE OF USE & REPRODUCTION RIGHTS

Any re-publication of the photograph must always include the credit:

Photo: First name Last name of photographer for Paperjam / ©Paperjam

 

Under no circumstances may a photograph produced for Paperjam S.A. be distributed in other national or international press publications.

  • Medium (annual report, website, etc.) — please specify

ORDERING A FINE ART PRINT

 

You may also order a fine art print, either for strictly private use or for display within a company.

 

These prints (with framing) are produced here: https://www.whitewall.com/eu/photo-prints.

To order, please email [email protected], specifying the format and type of print chosen. The price corresponds to Whitewall’s printing costs plus €100 excl. VAT for copyright and handling fees.

 

The purchase of a print does not include reproduction rights. You may not distribute or reproduce the work, as this would constitute a violation of copyright law.

 

 

PHOTOGRAPHY AND SOCIAL MEDIA

 

If you wish to share your portrait on social media without acquiring a license of use, you may photograph the magazine and reproduce the image in its publication context (within its layout, full page or excerpt), while mentioning the name of the publication (Paperjam, Paperjam Extra), the publisher (Paperjam S.A.), and of course the photographer.

 

We encourage you to tag the publication, the publisher, and the photographer to enable a link back to these sources.
