You may bookmark any part of this website for ease of access and offline reading. Beyond that, no image or any part of this website may be stored in a retrieval system (other than Internet Browser), copied or reproduced, published in any way, either in hard copy or electronic form- including Internet website, or transmitted in any form or by any means, electronic, mechanical, photocopying, recording or otherwise, without the prior permission of Ophrys Photography (John Devries).

All images are available for purchase as fine art prints to private individuals, or to publishers/photo agencies
as high resolution TIFF files on CD. For information on purchase, please go to Commercial enquiries.

By buying a print or file, you become the owner, but you do not own the Copyright to it, so scanning, photocopying etc is illegal. Using an image on your website constitutes publishing it and would be in
breach of Copyright. I regret that I cannot give permission to enable you to do this as you could conflict
with agreements made with paying professional clients who could then take action against you if they have agreed sole-use publishing rights.

Rather than illegally copying an image for use on your website, why not provide a link to this site? (Please inform me if you do, so a reciprocal link may be set up to our mutual benefit.)
