This work is a copyrighted publicity photograph. It is believed that the use of some such photographs to illustrate:

• the person(s), product, event, or subject in question
• where the image is unrepeatable, i.e. a free image could not be created to replace it
• on the English-language Misplaced Pages, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation,

qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law.

Other use of this image, on Misplaced Pages or elsewhere, might be copyright infringement. See Misplaced Pages:Fair use and Misplaced Pages:Publicity photos.

Additionally, the copyright holder may have granted permission for use in works such as Misplaced Pages. However, if they have, this permission likely does not fall under a free license. As well, commercial third-party reusers of this image should consider whether their use is in violation of the subject's publicity rights, if the photograph is of a person.

To the uploader: This tag should only be used for images of a person, product, or event that is known to have come from a press kit or similar source, for the purpose of reuse by the media. Please add a detailed fair use rationale as described on Misplaced Pages:Image description page, as well as the source of the image, the photographer, and copyright information. Additionally, if the copyright holder has granted permission, please provide further details as to the terms.

Please note that our policy usually considers fair use images of living people that merely show what they look like to be replaceable by free-licensed images and unsuitable for the project. If this is not the case for this image, a rationale should be provided proving that the image provides information beyond simple identification or showing that this image is difficult to replace by a free-licensed equivalent. There is presently some controversy over the fair use policy and how it applies to the promotional photos of living people.
