It’s important, I think, to explain yourself and your actions sometimes. Some people, without knowing better, can assume certain things in life and it can cause problems. I’m not pointing fingers at all but it can be hard sometimes to put yourself in other people’s shoes and understand why they say what they say, or do what they do.
A: Sure, but they will have to be paid for, I need to know how and where they will be used so I can give you a price for usage.
Q: Is it OK if I use your photographs for my MySpace Profile?
A: Absolutely, just grab them from here and you can use them as they are, if you want any without the watermark on, I don’t charge a lot for supplying without.
Q: Is it OK to use that picture for use on a poster then?
A: No, any photos that you want to use to advertise need to be paid for.
Q: We’re just starting out and don’t have a lot of money, can we get these photos for free?
A: Sorry, I’m not a charity, I have a family and mouths to feed. My equipment is also expensive and has a limited life cycle. Whilst I will take time out to come and take photos for you and not charge, usage of the photos for anything other than your profile will be chargeable.
Q: Well Photographer X is letting me have all their photos for nothing.
A: Feel free to use their photos.
