[QUOTE="Browncoat, post: 212688, member: 1061"] Click the link in my sig. There's a couple lengthy posts that cover this topic in this very section of the forums. As the photographer, the copyright is, and will always remain, yours. You pressed the shutter button, it's yours. You [COLOR=#ff0000][B]license[/B][/COLOR] the photos to your client for their use, but unless you expressly transfer the copyright (which would be a horribly bad idea) in writing, you are the owner of the images you take. How detailed you make their license is up to you. You can limit it to only web use, or whatever terms you outline. As mentioned in my posts, there are entire books dedicated to professional image licensing. If product photography is something you're interested in, they are a must-read. [/QUOTE]
