What Are Photography Rights?
By Megan • Oct 17th, 2007 • Category: News for Creatives (archives)by Liz Masoner for About.com:
“While selling your images may be the dream of many photographers, dealing with confusing contracts isn’t part of that dream. To understand photography licensing rights you must first understand that unless you are selling a print, you are not “selling a photo” as such. What you are doing is selling permission to use that photograph in a certain way for a certain length of time. This is called licensing. While there are some basic common terms relating to licensing, there are as many different licensing situations as their are photographs. Understanding those basic common terms will help you understand more complex and customized terms as you endeavor to license your images.”
