Images and Photographs.
On the Mic uses images supplied by performers, or their representatives (PRs, agencies, etc.), to publicise the work of a performer at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
Images are supplied for this express purpose. However, we like to give a photographer credit – including a link to the photographer’s website, if we know it.
If you are a photographer or agency and would like to claim an image let us know and we will add a credit.
If you are a photographer or agency and we are using an image that belongs to you, not the performer, and we are doing so without permission, let us know and we will remove it.
