Who Pays What?

A while ago I posted (maybe on FB) about this Tumblr (whopaysphotogs) that was looking for info about which clients pay what rates. Now they have published a spreadsheet with the results. Please keep in mind that the data is only as accurate as that which was reported so “your mileage may vary,” but at the very least it gives a general idea.

  1. What are all the entries stating that the photog retains the copyright but grants client X amount to time etc. Retaining copyright should not be in the negotiations unless the client has a lot of $$. Are photos now giving away the copyright?

    1. Photographers have often given away their copyrights (sadly) and in some other countries it is not the same as the US anyway. That is, in some places if you are commissioned to do a work the commissioning entity gets the copyright. -Leslie
