Before you reach out
Leigh & Raymond Photography posted seven minutes of their own Nikon Z5IIC photos and clips. For the 13 US channels here, the US Copyright Office says that whoever takes a photograph is "the author and the owner", so sample images like those stay the creator's unless your contract transfers them. If you want them on your product page or in ads, list each use and how long it runs in the brief, and price it with the video.
