We will sing an NDA and they also asked to relinquish copyright. I’m talking with the event planner but to my understanding the client is a multinational company. Is this normal? What would you do?
It’s pretty normal and I am fine with it and make sure I am getting a good rate for the jobs, sometimes will bump up the fee for buyout depending on the circumstances. Happy clients become return clients and I am running a business. A lot of people will preach to never give away your copyright, they aren’t wrong, just figure out what hill you want to die on
Yes, normal with large corporations. They need to control their public image and use of any related images, so they will buy them outright and restrict you from any use of them at all, including using on your own portfolio
Sure, if you’re work for hire.
It’s a corporate event. Who cares? I doubt some random dude speaking at a podium or giving out an award for 10 years of service is going in your portfolio.
I think of it this way. If it’s headshots that idgaf about and I don’t care about not having on my computer and that I’ll never touch again, I just sign them away.
I have enough of a portfolio that I don’t care about not having these there
Seen this before.
It hikes up the cost of the pictures.
