[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 336621, member: 9240"] It sounds like she's doing one of two things... 1. Paying you to shoot photos for her based on her specifications. Essentially, she is renting your camera and skill do shoot photos she will own, so you would not charge her for the photographs, you would charge her for your time. As photographer you can ask for some type of credit, but probably shouldn't expect it - maybe a stamp on the back saying, "Photo by Porkibear, exclusively for Whatshername Framing, Inc." 2. Asking you to shoot specific works that she will in turn resell. They are your photos, but she will retain some type of use right, either exclusive or otherwise. Given what she's looking to use them for, I suspect she would want exclusive rights to sell the images, meaning you could use them in a portfolio, but could not profit by selling them, and probably couldn't even print and give them away. As the owner and photographer, you need to determine the parameters around the exclusivity, namely how long the exclusive rights exist, the maximum number of images she can sell, the price to be paid for those rights, either one-time lump sum or per image sold and whether or not you receive credit as the photographer on the print (via watermark or stamp on back). If they are non-exclusive rights, the same parameters must be determined, but I would expect her to pay less per image if you retain the right to profit off of them simultaneously. My advice? Get all this stuff worked out in writing [B][I]before[/I][/B] you shoot anything. [/QUOTE]
