All images and videos used throughout the Pure One Travel website are supplied by image banks, direct from properties or travel/adventure operators featured and tourist boards or are taken of course directly by Pure One Travel when visiting a destination using our own equipment.
ISTOCKPHOTO by Getty Images is our preferred supplier of most images and video footage through the website under its subscription membership agreement.
Supplying Pure Vacations with Images or Footage
Do you have an image or footage that you would like to share with the Pure One Travel website? We rarely purchase images directly, this is because we have agreements with image banks and we predominantly purchase images through ISTOCKPHOTO by Getty Images, however, on rare occasions we are always happy to discuss an exclusive license with you so please do feel free to contact us via the contact us form on the website.
Equipment Used
We have a range of photographic and video equipment we tend to use for Pure One Travel’s own photographs a combination of Sony DSC-HX400DV, and on occasion iPhone 13 Pro Max. For our video blogs and videos, we use Sony DSC-HX400DV, iPhone 13 Pro Max, Sony Vlog Camera ZV-1, Go Pro’s and for drone footage we use a DJI Mini Pro 3 Drone.
Important Note
If you have a query over the usage of an image or video footage you find on our website you may do so through our contact us form on the contact page, HOWEVER, please be aware that we host thousands of images on our website, and if you have at any time featured your images with ISTOCKPHOTO by Getty Images or with several other image banks then this usage is covered under our user license. Please note that we also are supplied images from tourism boards that have provided us the legal right to use.
We will invoice for time wasted in searching and confirming images that are already covered under our license at 275.00 GBP per hour for searching, this charge is non-negotiable and we trust that you will act carefully and in accordance with our guidelines. Thank you for your understanding, we regretfully have to charge this because of multiple time-wasting (from organisations representing photographers) throughout the years of running this website, we do so always with regret however it is necessary.
We take any claims of irregular image use with the utmost seriousness. Given the extensive library of over 20,000 images we manage, it requires significant time and resources to review and verify each claim. Please be advised that any such claim will result in an invoice being issued to the photographer or company making the assertion, and we will not hesitate to pursue legal action if necessary. Every image in our collection has either been legally purchased from reputable image banks or captured by our own team, and all are used in good faith. It is crucial that this is clearly understood, so please ensure that you are not making baseless claims and wasting our time.
Should you believe that your image has been used without proper authorisation, and you have neither sold nor placed the image on an image bank, we encourage you to contact us directly. However, due to the rigorous checks we perform, such an occurrence would be highly irregular. We kindly request that you ensure absolute certainty in your claim before approaching us.
An average image and license search will take between three (3) to six (6) hours and that cost will vary from 825.00 GBP to 1650.00 GBP, although the longest we have taken was fifteen (15) hours and invoiced a total of 4400.00 GBP for wasted time.
