Editors / Photo Buyers: please contact Phillip Colla if you wish to license photographs of humpback whales produced during HWRF's research activities. Please know that our photographs are produced primarily for research purposes and HWRF's research permit limits the manner in which these photographs can be published.
Videotape: please contact Harrison Stubbs, Ph.D. if you wish to license videotape (underwater and topside) acquired during HWRF research activities.
Students / Educators: We receive numerous requests from students and well-meaning organizations to use our images in school reports and on school or personal web sites. Please know that these images are costly to produce and, since they are taken under Federal research permit, their use is limited and governed by US law. We do not give away their use. Please respect domestic and international copyright law. It is for these reasons, and the tendancy on the internet for images to be rampantly copied without compensation or credit, that we do not make images available at sizes larger than thumbnails without special arrangement.
