Scope and Conditions of Use<\/h2>\r\n<div style=\"height: 20px;\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/div>\r\nThe scope of use refers to the set of conditions under which an image is permitted to perform its intended role.\r\nA profile photograph is not an image for which all forms of use are automatically granted at the moment of creation.\r\nRather, the permissible scope and conditions of use are determined by the role and purpose defined at the design stage.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nAn image is not defined solely by whether it is technically well executed, but by what role it was designed to fulfill.\r\nEven when the same image is used, changes in purpose or context may result in different applicable standards and conditions.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nThis chapter focuses on the conditions under which a profile photograph may be used, and on the criteria by which changes to those conditions are evaluated.\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n<div style=\"height: 80px;\"

of Media Use<\/h2>\r\n<div style=\"height: 20px;\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/div>\r\n<span style=\"color: #d4d4d4;\">The scope of use for a profile photograph is not determined by the name of a medium or the type of platform.<\/span>\r\n<span style=\"color: #d4d4d4;\">Rather, it is determined by the environment in which the image is used and the role it is expected to perform within that environment.<\/span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #d4d4d4;\">In this document, \u201cmedia\u201d refers to the physical or digital context in which an image appears, including the functional expectations and purposes imposed upon it.<\/span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #d4d4d4;\">Accordingly, even within the same medium, the applicable standard may vary depending on the image\u2019s placement, method of use, and intended role.<\/span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>\u2460 Distinguishing Profile Images from Advertising Images<\/strong>\r\n<span style=\"color: #d4d4d4;\">A profile image is a representative image used to identify and introduce an individual or organization.<\/span>\r\n<span style=\"color: #d4d4d4;\">Its purpose is the formation of recognition.<\/span>\r\n<span style=\"color: #d4d4d4;\">In this context, the image does not function as a tool of persuasion or argument, but as a baseline image that establishes trust and representational validity.<\/span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #d4d4d4;\">By contrast, any use intended to generate direct or indirect economic or commercial benefit is classified as advertising use.<\/span>\r\n<span style=\"color: #d4d4d4;\">An advertising image functions as a persuasive tool designed to encourage selection or action, and therefore requires design standards fundamentally different from those of a profile image.<\/span>\r\n<span style=\"color: #d4d4d4;\">This distinction is not based on the type of medium, but on the function the image performs.<\/span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>\u2461 Use in Web and Digital Environments<\/strong>\r\n<span style=\"color: #d4d4d4;\">Use within websites, platforms, and digital content environments is not automatically fixed as either profile or advertising use.<\/span>\r\n<span style=\"color: #d4d4d4;\">Classification depends on the role the image performs within that environment.<\/span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #d4d4d4;\">For example, an image used on a page introducing an individual or organization may be classified as a profile image, as its purpose is identification and recognition.<\/span>\r\n<span style=\"color: #d4d4d4;\">However, even on the same website, use in locations such as main page banners, pop-ups, or promotional sections\u2014where attention is drawn and specific actions are encouraged\u2014constitutes advertising use.<\/span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #d4d4d4;\">In web and digital environments, classification is therefore determined not by the platform itself, but by the function the image performs.<\/span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>\u2462 Use in Print and Publishing Media<\/strong>\r\n<span style=\"color: #d4d4d4;\">Use in print and publishing media is, in principle, classified as advertising use.<\/span>\r\n<span style=\"color: #d4d4d4;\">Magazines, books, and printed materials intended for broad distribution inherently presuppose message delivery and persuasion through their production and distribution processes.<\/span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #d4d4d4;\">Accordingly, use in print and publishing contexts falls outside the scope of profile image usage, and advertising standards and conditions apply.<\/span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>\u2463 Clear Examples of Advertising Use by Industry or Purpose<\/strong>\r\n<span style=\"color: #d4d4d4;\">The following cases are classified as advertising use regardless of medium:<\/span>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li><span style=\"color: #d4d4d4;\">Printed materials such as hospital brochures or catalogs intended to attract patients or promote services<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li><span style=\"color: #d4d4d4;\">Political posters and election campaign materials designed to encourage selection or support<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li><span style=\"color: #d4d4d4;\">Images used in association leadership elections or similar contexts requiring persuasion<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<span style=\"color: #d4d4d4;\">Additionally, using a profile photograph within product packaging, service visuals, or composite images to endorse value or induce purchase or selection is also classified as advertising use.<\/span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #d4d4d4;\">In such cases, the image exceeds the function of identification and instead performs the role of persuasion or assertion.<\/span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>\u2464 Distinction by Placement and Role Within the Same Medium<\/strong>\r\n<span style=\"color: #d4d4d4;\">Even within the same medium, classification may differ depending on the image\u2019s placement and role.<\/span>\r\n<span style=\"color: #d4d4d4;\">Use on an individual or medical staff introduction page may qualify as profile image usage, while use of the same image in a main banner, pop-up, or promotional area constitutes advertising use.<\/span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #d4d4d4;\">This is because the functional demands placed on the image differ fundamentally, even within a single medium.<\/span>\r\n<div style=\"height: 60px;\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/div>\r\n<h2 style=\"font-size: 17px; line-height: 1.8;

Validity of Representation<\/h2>\r\n<h2 style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.8; text-align: left; margin: 0;\">(Criteria for Duration of Use)<\/h2>\r\n<div style=\"height: 20px;\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/div>\r\nIn the context of profile photography, duration of use does not refer to a fixed exposure period as it does in advertising.\r\nRather, it refers to whether the image continues to accurately represent the current state of the individual or organization.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nThe core question is not \u201cHow long has the image been used?\u201d\r\nbut \u201cDoes it still represent the present?\u201d\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nEven if little time has passed, changes in role, position, responsibility, or organizational context may render an existing image no longer representative.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nMany individuals tend to use a single image for extended periods once it is perceived as successful.\r\nThis reflects an understanding of profile photography as personal record rather than representational tool.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nBy contrast, for corporate executives or CEOs whose responsibilities and positions evolve continuously, a profile photograph functions not as a personal record but as an explanatory tool for a current role.\r\nWhen changes such as job transitions, promotions, or new appointments occur, the existing image becomes a record of the past.\r\nAt that point, reshooting is not an option, but a natural process of renewal.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nAccordingly, the validity of a profile image is not governed by a fixed time limit.\r\nThe determining criterion is whether change has occurred, and whether the image still accurately represents the subject\u2019s current role and position.\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n<div style=\"height: 80px;\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/div>\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n\r\n<div style=\"height: 60px;\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/div>\r\n<h2 style=\"font-size: 20px; line-height: 1.8; text-align: left; margin: 0;\">2.3 File Specifications and Resolution<\/h2>\r\n<div style=\"height: 20px;\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/div>\r\nFile specifications and resolution are not optional features of the final

of use may change after a shoot has been completed.<\/span>\r\n<span style=\"color: #d4d4d4;\">However, not all changes are of the same nature.<\/span>\r\n<span style=\"color: #d4d4d4;\">This document classifies changes to usage conditions by type in order to clarify design responsibility and scope, not to impose restrictions.<\/span>\r\n<span style=\"color: #d4d4d4;\">Changes fall into the following three categories:<\/span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>\u2460 Change of Purpose<\/strong>\r\n<em>(Profile Use \u2192 Advertising Use)<\/em>\r\n<span style=\"color: #d4d4d4;\">When an image originally produced for profile use is later used for advertising purposes, the image\u2019s function shifts from representation to persuasion.<\/span>\r\n<span style=\"color: #d4d4d4;\">Such a change is not considered an extension of existing use, but a transformation of the image\u2019s role.<\/span>\r\n<span style=\"color: #d4d4d4;\">Accordingly, it requires new agreement rather than automatic continuation.<\/span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>\u2461 Change of Application<\/strong>\r\n<em>(Web\/Digital Use \u2192 Large-Format Print Use)<\/em>\r\n<span style=\"color: #d4d4d4;\">When an image designed for web or digital use is applied to large-format physical output, this constitutes a change in design conditions rather than a simple file conversion.<\/span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #d4d4d4;\">Lighting, camera settings, resolution, and retouching assumptions would have differed at the time of shooting.<\/span>\r\n<span style=\"color: #d4d4d4;\">Therefore, application changes are treated as changes in design premises, and identical standards cannot be assumed without prior agreement.<\/span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #d4d4d4;\">In particular, images designed for screen-based use may be technically unsuitable for large-format printing.<\/span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>\u2462 Change or Expansion of Media Context<\/strong>\r\n<span style=\"color: #d4d4d4;\">Using an image in a new medium beyond those originally agreed upon constitutes an expansion of scope.<\/span>\r\n<span style=\"color: #d4d4d4;\">Examples include using a CEO profile image as an official public figure image, or repurposing an editorial image for a book cover.<\/span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #d4d4d4;\">In such cases, the issue is not resolution, but the shift in social context and representational scope.<\/span>\r\n<span style=\"color: #d4d4d4;\">Accordingly, additional agreement is required.<\/span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>[Important] Changes That Cannot Be Resolved Retroactively<\/strong>\r\n<span style=\"color: #d4d4d4;\">Not all changes can be resolved through post-hoc negotiation or cost adjustment.<\/span>\r\n<span style=\"color: #d4d4d4;\">Images designed for low-resolution or screen-based output may be physically incapable of supporting large-format print use.<\/span>\r\n<span style=\"color: #d4d4d4;\">In such cases, the limitation is not contractual but technical, and reshooting is required.<\/span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>[Design Reference] One Source, Multi Use<\/strong>\r\n<span style=\"color: #d4d4d4;\">If multi-use across various media is anticipated from the outset, the entire design process\u2014including lighting, shooting method, file specifications, retouching scope, and production workflow\u2014must be expanded accordingly.<\/span>\r\n<span style=\"color: #d4d4d4;\">Such expansion necessarily affects cost and production scale.<\/span>\r\n<span style=\"color: #d4d4d4;\">Most clients do not possess specialized knowledge of photographic production structures.<\/span>\r\n<span style=\"color: #d4d4d4;\">Accordingly, the standards presented here function not as protective measures for the photographer, but as shared criteria to prevent misunderstanding and to clarify realistic possibilities and responsibilities.<\/span>\r\n<span style=\"color: #d4d4d4;\">These standards are not intended to resolve disputes after the fact,<\/span>\r\n<span style=\"color: #d4d4d4;\">but to establish clarity of purpose before the shoot begins.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n<div style=\"height: 140px;\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/div>\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n\r\n<div style=\"height: 140px;\"

aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/div>\r\n<span style=\"color: #d4d4d4;\">This appendix is not intended to provide legal definitions.<\/span>\r\n<span style=\"color: #d4d4d4;\">It was written to clarify how key terms are used within the standards and context of this document.<\/span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #d4d4d4;\">Each term functions as a reference point to support shared understanding and agreement prior to a photo shoot.<\/span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>\u2460 Profile Photography vs. Advertising Photography<\/strong>\r\n<em>(Profile vs. Advertising)<\/em>\r\n<span style=\"color: #d4d4d4;\">Profile photography refers to representative images used to identify and introduce an individual or organization.<\/span>\r\n<span style=\"color: #d4d4d4;\">Such images do not perform persuasion or argument.<\/span>\r\n<span style=\"color: #d4d4d4;\">They function as baseline images that establish trust and representational validity.<\/span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #d4d4d4;\">Advertising photography, by contrast, refers to usage intended to generate direct or indirect economic or commercial benefit.<\/span>\r\n<span style=\"color: #d4d4d4;\">In this context, the image functions as a persuasive tool designed to encourage selection or action.<\/span>\r\n<span style=\"color: #d4d4d4;\">Even when the same individual appears, an image is classified as advertising photography the moment its purpose of use changes.<\/span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #d4d4d4;\">This distinction is not a matter of style or visual quality, but of the role the image is designed to perform.<\/span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>\u2461 Purpose of Use<\/strong>\r\n<span style=\"color: #d4d4d4;\">The purpose of use refers to the premise defining what an image is intended to be used for.<\/span>\r\n<span style=\"color: #d4d4d4;\">It takes precedence over the type of medium or placement, and is the primary factor determining the image\u2019s character and design criteria.<\/span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #d4d4d4;\">When the purpose of use changes, the applicable standards and conditions change accordingly\u2014even if the image itself remains the same.<\/span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>\u2462 Scope of Use<\/strong>\r\n<span style=\"color: #d4d4d4;\">The scope of use refers to the set of conditions under which an image is permitted to perform its intended role.<\/span>\r\n<span style=\"color: #d4d4d4;\">This includes purpose of use, media context, method of use, and file specifications.<\/span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #d4d4d4;\">Scope of use is not a concept that expands arbitrarily after shooting.<\/span>\r\n<span style=\"color: #d4d4d4;\">It is a standard that must be considered and agreed upon during the design stage, prior to the shoot.<\/span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>\u2463 Original Image<\/strong>\r\n<span style=\"color: #d4d4d4;\">An original image refers to the base image file generated during the shooting process.<\/span>\r\n<span style=\"color: #d4d4d4;\">It precedes retouching or design adjustments made for specific usage purposes.<\/span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #d4d4d4;\">An original image is not, by itself, a deliverable intended for immediate use.<\/span>\r\n<span style=\"color: #d4d4d4;\">Whether original images are provided, and how they may be used, depends on the agreed purpose and scope of use.<\/span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>\u2464 Final Image<\/strong>\r\n<span style=\"color: #d4d4d4;\">A final image refers to a completed image that has been selected, retouched, and formatted according to the agreed purpose and scope of use.<\/span>\r\n<span style=\"color: #d4d4d4;\">In this document, delivery of photographs refers, in principle, to final images.<\/span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #d4d4d4;\">A final image is not simply a photograph that appears visually successful.<\/span>\r\n<span style=\"color: #d4d4d4;\">It is an image designed to perform its intended function.<\/span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>\u2465 High-Resolution File<\/strong>\r\n<span style=\"color: #d4d4d4;\">A high-resolution file refers to an image file designed and produced from the outset to support large-format printing, physical output, or expanded usage across multiple contexts.<\/span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #d4d4d4;\">High-resolution files are not optional outputs generated after shooting.<\/span>\r\n<span style=\"color: #d4d4d4;\">They are the result of physical conditions determined at the shooting stage.<\/span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #d4d4d4;\">Accordingly, images designed for web or digital use cannot, in principle, be retroactively converted into high-resolution files suitable for large-format output.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n<div style=\"height: 140px;\"
