Hi everyone,
I have a question, I met with a girl who responded to my ad of needing a second shooter, this will be my first time using a second shooter, I did some research about second shooters job description. She asked me if I would be putting any of her photographs, as a second shooter on my website, I am not sure yet, but if I do she would like for me to first ask her permission, and if she agrees for me to then give her credit for the photographs. Is this a normal request? I told her that she, being my second shooter can put some of her photos on her site but that she would have to give me credit, since I am the head photographer, and it was my client that she took the photos for. I've never seen anybody give credit on their site to their second shooter. The other issue is that she has her own business just like me, I feel like I would be giving her free advertising.
Basically what image rights do I have over a second shooters images. I know usually a second shooter hands their images over and that's it, you usually don't get to kept your images for your own personal use, I didn't want to be that way, because if I was second shooting I would like to be able to keep some of my images for my own website, the last wedding I was the second shooter and I gave credit on my site for whom I shot the photos for. I really like this girl and I really like her work. Does anyone know if her request is valid.
