Hi people,

I know I’ve not been around much of late but we all have other things to do. Anyway, in the studio last Friday a young lad came in looking for a photographer to do some shots for him to send to “ diesel and kswiss “. To cut a long story shorter, I took his photos and sent him thumbs of the best 22, after working on them a while(over eight hours in total over the weekend). He emailed me to say he loved them, could I send him full size copies of his favourite 9? With the reply I asked if he would consider a £5 per copy charge. No reply came. Tuesday he came to see me and asked if I’d release copyright to him as he actually owns the rights to his image. During the conversation it transpires he is planning to send these photos to sky for some campaign or other.

So,

Should I give him first use rights to the images?

Should I give him the originals and hope to get some sort of recognition?

Should I gamble that he is a blagger and ditch the project?

Should I have sorted this out first? Is so how?

 

Thank you for your time people.

Promise to post something good soon.

Zachary Hunt.
