RSSI Don’t Know If I’d Really Count Myself One, But For Now I Will
Earlier this week I was contacted by a communications exec with the National Tertiary Education Union of Australia who was interested in using one of my photographs for an upcoming campaign. I sent him my licensing information and everything must have met their approval because I LICENSED A PHOTOGRAPH. FOR MONEY.
Granted, it wasn’t much money, but HOLY SHIT Y’ALL.
Hi. I’m Anne and I’m a professional photographer.

so very cool. congratulations!
licensing information. how very official. i’m afraid i haven’t been quite so professional the two times i was asked for photographs. i keep saying that one of these days i’ll put something together but then i think, what are the odds someone will ask again? yeah, bit of a self-esteem issue when it comes to my photography skills.
what’s your licensing info like?
My licensing info is extremely simple:
I sent them an attribution license, so they are required to give me credit for the photo somewhere on the product. I also retain full rights. I corresponded with the contact regarding how large a print run it will be, what type (postcard, poster, flyer, etc.), where it will be distributed (certain parts of AU or nation-wide), and for how long. I then include the info in the license and said any other use of the image needs to be cleared with me.
I loosely based it off of the license I include with discs or individual images I give to friends or others I’ve taken photos for. I’ll email you.
That’d be great. Thank you. Certainly much more detailed a process than I’ve ever gone through. I realized the last go around, when I had to harass the folks for my free book, that I should have been much more formal about the process. Had I not gotten it, I would have had the emails to back up my claim, but that’s hardly the best thing.
Congrats.
Yes. I knew they would purchase a license for the photo. You could tell by the way they propositioned you–very formal.
I now live with a professional photographer.
