You need to ask if you are going to use a photograph of ours in a book, magazine, brochure, facebook, etc. because our work is copyrighted. It is against the law to reproduce any copy righted material without permission of the author. You NEED a black & white print if you are going to reproduce in B&W, in order for the entire tonal range to separate properly. LET US KNOW how it will be used, so we can fill out the permission form. You may wish to order a B&W to keep on file for year-end awards: we always FAX the contract to the publication!
