[QUOTE="Eduard, post: 15462, member: 986"] As some of you remember, I went through a bit of this while looking for a photographer for our upcoming wedding. Contrast it with the person I found. The person we are going to use is probably late 40's - early 50's. He has been working as a number two photographer as a side job for 6-7 years. The older "gentleman" that he worked sounded like Mr. Pickrell. He bought him out almost two years ago, switched to internet and word-of-mouth advertising and has built himself a nice portfolio. When we were negotiating terms one of my concerns was that we have a CEO and couple other high-level executives attending the event. I told him that a blanket model release wouldn't be acceptable. His response was great. He suggested that we put in the contract that if he wants to use any of the images for marketing, he gets our approval. Reasonable and fair. The other thing that struck me with this person is how he adapted to the current market. His approach is that he'll make the images available for individual orders on his website for 3-4 months. Afterward he provides a disc with at least 200 hi-res images. The contract states that we are allowed to use them for personal and/or family use but not allowed to sell, publicize or make a profit from them. Another reasonable response. What a refreshing contrast to some of the examples referenced earlier in this thread. [/QUOTE]
