No legalese. Just darkroom honesty.

🎞️ FOR CONTRIBUTORS: YOUR FILM IS SACRED

(Photographers submitting work)

  • You keep 100% ownership — copyright never leaves your hands.
  • You grant us a tiny license:
    → To feature your shots here (graingallery.com)
    → To share one link on social media (to send shooters your way)
  • We’ll never:
    → Sell your work
    → Alter your images
    → Use them beyond this site + single promo post
"This isn’t a contract — it’s a handshake in the darkroom.
Your film stays yours. We just help others see it."

🌑 FOR READERS: RESPECT THE SANCTUARY

(Visitors viewing content)

  • DO NOT repost Contact Sheets (blogs, social, prints) without:
    1. Asking us first (contact@graingallery.com), and
    2. Linking to the original post + crediting the photographer
  • Why this matters:
    → This isn’t Instagram — it’s a film sanctuary
    → Rip out a contact sheet, and you break the ritual
    → We protect shooters so their work isn’t exploited
"Don’t treat this like a stock site.
If you love film, keep it in the darkroom — not on your feed."

⚡ TL;DR

You Are... The Pact
A contributor "My film stays mine. You only show it to grow my audience."
A reader "I won’t repost — I’ll send shooters here to see film as it’s meant to be seen."
