OUR SERVICES
Picture/Photo Research
Locating the best images are the heart and soul of a picture researcher’s job. We will explore all avenues to locate the best images for your project, secure permissions, and manage your photo budgets.
Permissions Clearance
A permissions editor provides copyright clearances for any media, in a timely manner, and negotiates licenses and fees. MacCap Permissions has a solid knowledge of copyright issues, and stays abreast of the ever-changing copyright landscape.
Workshops/ Consulting
Copyright infringement can cost you and your company—in terms of time, money, and your reputation. Give employees the tools to minimize the margin for errors by offering an in-house workshop on picture research and permissions clearances.
We research content—still images, footage, audio recordings, art and illustrations, and literary and academic text—and secure the appropriate licenses for leading content developers throughout North America. We work with publishers, multi-media producers, NGOs, and non-profit organizations.
Research projects at MacCap Permissions cover a wide range of subjects from the language arts to social studies to law to health sciences to general sciences to business.
As project managers, we have a solid understanding of our clients’ goals and manage multiple projects, deadlines, and budgets.
