High-resolution images of placesPhotos by John December Available for Purchase or License

Thank you for taking a look at my images. In my photography work, I seek to capture images of the landmarks, scenes, and flavor of where I live and travel. This page tells about sales of my images and what image types I produce.

Image Sales

I sell my images to consumers, commercial users, and the media.

Quality Prints

I sell quality prints on Kodak paper through backprint.com. These unframed prints are ideal for consumers, small businesses, or non-profit organizations who want a smaller-sized print for display or a digital download for use on a Web site. Small gift items (mousepad, keychain, gift cards) are also available for these images. For more information about these prints, please see the prints page.

Fine Art Prints

I sell fine art prints for consumer or commercial users through imagekind.com. These fine art prints can be made at various print sizes and the imagekind site offers elaborate options for matting and framing. These fine art prints are perfect for consumers who want a high-quality print or commercial buyers who need a framed, matted print ready to use in any office or commercial environment. Because of limited space on my gallery on imagekind.com, I rotate the images currently available for sale in my gallery. For more information on the fine art prints, or to request an image to consider, please see the gallery page.

Digital License

Third Ward on the River
I sell digital licenses for commercial users. With the digital license, you buy the digital file and use it as you wish--in prints, on your Web site, or on any item. My standard price for a commercial license is $75 per image file. The price is a bit lower if the camera I used gives lower resolution or if you order 6 or more images from me. The price is a bit higher if the image production required special techniques (such as High Dynamic Range photography) or if the number of paper or other units you will produce is more than 10,000. I currently take photos using a digital camera with a resolution of 2848 by 4272 pixels. You can request any image I've made to consider for a commercial digital license by sending an email to john@december.com.

Media Use

I sell digital licenses for media use, such as in magazines, newspapers, textbooks, broadcast, or media Web sites. The price for media use depends on the nature of the publication (size, placement, print run). You can request any image I've made to consider for a media license by sending an email to john@december.com.
Image Types

I primarily take photographs of cityscapes, landscapes, and use either a documentary-style approach or prepare photos using High Dynamic Range (HDR) techniques. I have images available in these geographic areas:

I'm continuously taking photos, so you can consider any of the photos from my flickr stream, as these might not yet have showed up on my Web site, backprint, or imagekind galleries. You might look at My Most Interesting Photos Set to see the photos most popular as determined by flickr's algorithm and user interaction.

HDR Photography

Night River Scene
I also prepare photos using a technique called High Dynamic Range (HDR) photography. This involves taking multiple images of the same scene and merging these using software. The results of this technique vary according to how the images are processed. In many cases, the results are similar to a painting--presenting a soft blending like an impressionist work--or with bold textures showing off the surfaces and light values of the scene. Producing an appealing HDR image is a challenge, and HDR work requires additional equipment, techniques, camera settings, talent, and time to produce.

Custom Photos

Mayor Barrett
I live in downtown Milwaukee, Wisconsin and could take photos of a place, site, or scene based on your needs.

Event Photos

Aradia of Las Vegas
I take photos at special events by arrangement. I can make my photos available for event participants to purchase through backprint.com in a password-protected gallery.
