Advertising Disclosure
Last updated: November 30, 2025
Our Commitment to Transparency
At Lumenframe, we believe in maintaining complete transparency with our community about any financial relationships that may influence the content, recommendations, or information we provide. This advertising disclosure explains how we may earn revenue through various partnerships and advertising arrangements.
We are committed to honest, ethical advertising practices and comply with all applicable regulations, including guidelines from relevant advertising standards authorities. Our primary goal is to provide valuable cinematography education while being transparent about our business relationships.
Affiliate Relationships and Partnerships
Affiliate Program Participation
Lumenframe participates in affiliate marketing programs with select equipment manufacturers, software providers, and educational platforms relevant to cinematography. When you click certain links on our website and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you.
These affiliate partnerships help support our educational mission and allow us to continue providing resources and information to the cinematography community. Commission rates vary by partner and product category.
Commission-Based Link Explanations
Links to equipment retailers, software vendors, or educational resources may contain affiliate tracking codes. When you make a purchase through these links, we receive a small percentage of the sale as compensation for the referral.
The presence of an affiliate link does not increase the price you pay. In some cases, we may have access to exclusive discounts or promotional offers that benefit both you and Lumenframe.
We disclose affiliate relationships clearly when they apply to specific content, using labels such as "affiliate link" or "partner link" where appropriate.
Product Recommendation Policies
Our product recommendations are based primarily on professional experience, educational value, and industry standards, not on commission rates. We recommend equipment and resources that we believe benefit cinematography students and professionals.
While affiliate commissions provide financial support, they do not determine which products we recommend or discuss in our courses. We maintain editorial independence and recommend products based on their merit.
If we have not personally used or evaluated a product, we clearly state this limitation in our recommendation. We distinguish between products we actively recommend and those we simply mention as options.
Financial Relationship Transparency
We disclose when a financial relationship exists with companies whose products or services we discuss. This includes affiliate commissions, sponsorship arrangements, equipment loans, or any other form of compensation that could reasonably be perceived as influencing our content.
Sponsored Content and Brand Partnerships
Identification of Paid Content
Any content created in exchange for payment or compensation from brands, manufacturers, or service providers is clearly labeled as "sponsored," "paid partnership," or similar disclosure language. This applies to articles, demonstrations, case studies, or any other content format.
Sponsored Content Guidelines
While we may create sponsored content, we maintain editorial control and ensure all information is accurate and genuinely useful to our audience. We do not publish sponsored content that contradicts our educational principles or professional standards.
Brand Partnership Disclosures
Long-term partnerships with equipment manufacturers, software companies, or industry organizations are disclosed when relevant to specific content. These partnerships may include equipment loans, software licenses, or collaborative educational initiatives.
Content Authenticity Guarantees
Even in sponsored content, our opinions and educational approach remain authentic. We do not make false claims or overstate product capabilities. If a sponsor's product has limitations, we address them honestly while highlighting its strengths.
Third-Party Advertising Networks
Display Advertising Networks
Our website may display advertisements served by third-party advertising networks. These networks use cookies and similar technologies to deliver relevant advertisements based on your browsing behavior across multiple websites.
We carefully select advertising partners whose products and services align with the interests of our cinematography community. However, the appearance of an advertisement does not constitute our endorsement of the advertised product or company.
Behavioral Targeting Disclosure
Third-party advertising networks may use behavioral targeting to show you advertisements based on your interests and online activity. This targeting helps ensure that advertisements are relevant to your professional interests in cinematography and related fields.
You can opt out of behavioral advertising through your browser settings or by using industry opt-out tools. See our Cookie Policy for more information about managing advertising preferences.

Editorial Independence Statement
While we maintain various advertising and affiliate relationships, these partnerships do not compromise our editorial independence or the quality of our educational content. Our course curriculum, teaching methods, and educational standards are determined solely by pedagogical considerations and industry best practices.
We do not allow sponsors or affiliates to dictate course content, influence grading standards, or control our educational approach. Equipment recommendations in our courses are based on educational value and industry standards, not on commission rates or sponsorship agreements.
Our instructors maintain professional independence and are not required to promote specific brands or products. Any product mentions in courses reflect genuine educational considerations rather than commercial interests.
