Using BBC Content

You’ll need to ask permission. Here’s how...

To ask about buying screen grabs, email the BBC Motion Gallery Sales team.

To ask about using photos from the BBC News website email the News Website Permissions team.


To ask about using any photos we own, email the BBC Photo Library.

Bear in mind…

We don’t own most of the photos and pictures on the BBC News site. But whoever does is often credited in the corner. This is why we won’t let you use photos and pictures from BBC News for commercial purposes.
