Gareth McCormack Photography

One of the first independent photographer websites to feature fully automated Rights Managed image licensing. Until recently this service has been the preserve of major commercial image agencies such as Getty Images and Corbis. Maithu’s work on Gareth’s site is a major step towards enabling photographers to take back control of the sales of their images. The website was built on the Django framework and LFS for e-commerce functionality. The media matrix used to create the license generator was based on the PLUS system, designed by a coalition of media industry leaders with the aim of establishing a global standard for the management of image rights.
