The Natural AristocratPhoto Credit & Attribution

1The Required Credit

Credit is mandatory on every use of a licensed photograph and cannot be waived. No payment, license, or other arrangement confers any right to omit it.

Unless your Confirmation specifies otherwise, the required credit reads, at minimum: Photo Credit: © Nir Regev / TheNaturalAristocrat.com. The preferred form includes the year: Photo Credit: © 2026 Nir Regev / TheNaturalAristocrat.com.

Where the platform supports tagging, tag both the publication and the photographer:

2Where It Goes

The credit appears with the photograph, every time. In print and online it runs legibly and immediately adjacent to the image: a caption or credit line at the photograph itself, never buried in a general list elsewhere on the page.

In audio-visual use the credit will run in the production credits. Its size, legibility, and placement will be comparable to the other source credits in the same production, and a credit smaller, shorter on screen, or harder to read than the credits around it does not satisfy the License Terms.

4Copy-Ready Credit Lines

Use these lines exactly, replacing nothing but the year:

5If the Credit Is Missing

Publishing a photograph without the required credit is a material breach of the License Terms and an infringement of copyright. The credit and copyright-management information are embedded in every file, so a copy published without them is a copy from which they have been removed or altered.

That removal or alteration is independently actionable under 17 U.S.C. § 1202, as is the distribution of any copy known to lack the embedded information. Each violation carries statutory damages of $2,500 to $25,000, with no requirement of registration.

There is no fee for omitting credit and no way to buy one out. Where a photograph is published without it, Live Game Deals LLC d/b/a The Natural Aristocrat, as the authorized licensing representative of Nir Regev, pursues every available remedy, including injunctive relief together with statutory damages, attorneys’ fees, and costs that may substantially exceed any License fee. The controlling text is the “Credit & Attribution” section of the License Terms.
