| working with a publication/magazine just recently a local magazine has contacted me about my services and am curious to know how it usually works (copyright, reprints, royalties/usage) as i am accustomed to working with ad agencies/ADs.
the publisher contacts me to shoot various products or people/owners of local restaurants/wine hang outs (the mags are about the local restaurant scene etc). so they pay me, designs an ad for a client or sometimes not and wants/is accustomed to having the right to resell it (the ad with the photos or the photos alone) to the client multiple times without paying me. most of the time they want to trade ad space for my services and then have the same as above.
seems vary one sided to me. the publisher has even mentioned that if they pay the photographer, then dont see reason to give anything back for a cut of resales etc, only if the photographer worked for free, for trade for ad space that they will give them the opportunity to make any more off of the photos. one time the client wanted a portrait print for their office and only gave the photographer the opportunity to sell the print since they had worked for trade to the publisher for quite a time.
