You own whatever rights you get from the producer. I know some photographers maintain certain noncompetitive rights to the photos. You would be buying web rights, as I understand it, but then he could sell the pics to magazines as layouts or for use in phone sex ads, for example.
In other cases, the photographer simply works for you for a fee, and in the end you own the photos and all rights, lock, stock, and barrel. This is how I work. If I do exclusive for you, I have no claim whatsoever on the work once I'm paid.
"License" refers to what you are permitted to do with the pics...in other words, what aspects of the copyright you are buying, and whether your purchase is an outright purchase or just a permission.
