This is a copyrighted image that has been released by a company or organization to promote their work or product in the media, such as advertising material or a promotional photo in a press kit.

The copyright for it is most likely owned by the company who created the promotional item or the artist who produced the item in question; you must provide evidence of such ownership. Lack of such evidence is grounds for deletion.

It is believed that the use of some images of promotional material 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 Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation,

qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law. Any other usage of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, might be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content and Wikipedia:Publicity photos.

Additionally, the copyright holder may have granted permission for use in works such as Wikipedia. However, if they have, this permission likely does not fall under a free license.

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. Commercial third-party reusers of this image should consider whether their use is in violation of the subject's publicity rights.

Non-free / fair use media rationale for Acker Bilk
Description	Promotional photograph of the clarinetist Mr. Acker Bilk

Article	Acker Bilk
Portion used
Low resolution?	Yes
Purpose of use	This is a promotional image (photograph) of Acker Bilk,intended by the copyright holder (ackersmusicagency.co.uk) for wide and free distribution as in a press kit. Its one-time use in this specific biographical article of Acker Bilk is entirely consistent with the intent of the copyright holder in this regard, and in this respect does NOT compete at all with the copyright holder's usage. The purpose of including this image in the biographical article about Acker Bilk is to visually illustrate Mr. Bilk's unique persona, instrument, and signature dress in a manner that cannot be adequately conveyed in a text-only article.
Replaceable?	It is unlikely that the image can be readily replaced by a free image since the subject is now semi-retired and somewhat reclusive, and does not correspond by electronic means from his remote home in England.
