Mountain Photo Licensing for Professionals

Would you like to decorate a facility, order a series of artworks, or use a photograph by Pierre Thiaville in a campaign, on a website, in print, or for professional media? AluArtMountains evaluates each project based on the artwork, its intended use, and the rights actually required.

Two paths are available: AluArtMountains can handle the production of artworks for your location, or grant a limited use license for a photograph authored by Pierre Thiaville.

Decorative project

Order an artwork or a series

For a hotel, restaurant, chalet, offices, reception hall, or meeting room, AluArtMountains can assist you in choosing artworks, dimensions, and overall consistency.

Certain photographs can be studied up to 200 cm on the longest side and 110 cm on the other side, with simulation and personalized cropping when the project requires it.

Photo license

Use a file by Pierre Thiaville

For a campaign, website, brochure, poster, signage, light box, or print produced by your own service provider, a usage license can be considered.

AluArtMountains can directly grant a license only for photographs where Pierre Thiaville is the author.

Which photographs can be licensed?

AluArtMountains can directly grant a usage license or a limited assignment only when Pierre Thiaville is the photographer of the work.

The photographer's name appears on each product sheet. The gallery also features works by other photographers, always credited to their true author. Their availability as an artwork does not give AluArtMountains the right to authorize their reproduction in a campaign, website, brochure, or manufacturing by a third party.

Before your request: open the photograph's product page and verify that the "Photographer" field indeed indicates "Pierre Thiaville." For a work by another photographer, AluArtMountains does not promise to be able to obtain or transfer the necessary rights.

Which professional uses can be considered?

Printed communication

Brochures, catalogs, posters, reports, press kits, flyers, and institutional documents.

Digital communication

Websites, newsletters, digital campaigns, presentations, social media, and on-screen displays.

Decoration and manufacturing

Light boxes, large-format prints, wall coverings, window displays, signage, stands, and special structures.

Tourism and territory

Tourist offices, local authorities, resorts, accommodations, events, and brands related to mountains.

Each use remains subject to validation. The final agreement precisely specifies the media, context, duration, territory, circulation volume, and whether the authorization is exclusive or non-exclusive.

What does the usage license define?

The proposal is tailored to the presented project. It specifies, in particular:

  • the photograph concerned and its author;
  • the reproduction, representation, or distribution rights granted;
  • the authorized media and purpose;
  • the number of copies, distribution volume, or anticipated audience;
  • the territory and duration of use;
  • the exclusive or non-exclusive nature of the license;
  • authorized technical adaptations, including cropping;
  • photographer credit conditions;
  • remuneration and payment terms.

Rights not expressly granted remain reserved to Pierre Thiaville. The purchase of a physical artwork does not automatically transfer the right to reproduce, modify, or distribute the photograph's file.

Resolution, cropping, and large-format production

The compatibility of a photograph with your medium depends on the original definition, aspect ratio, cropping, printing technology, viewing distance, and your manufacturer's recommendations.

Artwork manufactured by AluArtMountains

For an eligible photograph, a project can be considered up to 200 cm on the longest side and 110 cm on the other side, with personalized cropping, simulation, and printing on matte Dibond aluminium.

Manufacturing by your service provider

Frequently Asked Questions
