Permission for Use of Photo in Human Rights Museum[edit]

31 August at 13:43

Dear Saffron, Hope this email finds you well. I am a producer who is collaborating with The Canadian Museum for Human Rights, in Winnipeg, Canada. museumforhumanrights.ca/ The museum is set to open this September. We would like to propose your photo in our video production. The video is an introduction to the concept of human rights, including the Rights to Education, Freedom of Speech, Indigenous Rights and Rights to Play. You had taken a photo, titled “Cotswolds Quilt“ in your Flickr account. Link: www.flickr.com/photos/saffron_blaze/8412296490/. Would you be agreeable to have the photo included in the production? If so, we would need a high resolution file of your image (with watermark) so we can include it in our proposal. Should the photograph be confirmed, we will require the full resolution file without watermark. We would be glad to credit you accordingly in the production. Look forward to hearing from you.

Thanks. Best regards, karen phan producer M'GO Films Pte Ltd 69 Kim Yam Road, #02-01, Singapore 239368 T. 6737 8907 x110 www.margofilms.com www.facebook.com/MGOfilms

From: Saffron Blaze Hello Karen, thank you for your inquiry. Are you and your organisation also contributing to this project for credit consideration? I ask because as a Canadian I know the museum is a government funded agency with a substantial budget. I also know this in considerable detail because I am in fact in charge of a heritage portfolio for another government department. Given this I would be surprised you'd be asked to produce such a product for credit or publicity. Please advise.

In the absence of a response I will direct my inquiry to the museum directly. Cheers.

Hi Saffron, We are in touch with Getty for some images but would prefer to propose the originally mentioned image to the museum. The panoramic width of the photograph suits the narrative very well. Do let us know your fee for the image. As it is a very large screen, we would like to propose the highest resolution possible. Thanks and regards, Karen

From Saffron: This is the largest image size available: farm6.staticflickr.com/5443/8412296490_6e52ed09c4_o.jpg. If suitable we can discuss an RF license non-exclusive at xxx CAD or double that for RM exclusive. As you know all too well Getty would charge 3-4 times that amount, if not more. Please advise.

From: Karen Phan Dear Saffron, Hope all is well. The image we discussed that was proposed was not in the final selection. However, another image of yours from Wikimedia Commons, which had been suggested by a colleague, has been. commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Sunset_iqaluit.jpg. The Commons nature of the images does not require a release form, but I thought to let you know of its selection as we had been in touch. Your image has been credited
