- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos OK to edit
So, I'm potentially shooting a show at The National, and it's one of my favorite bands, The Pretty Reckless. I've been trying to get a press pass because I'd really love to take photos of them, and was having a difficult time reaching anyone until now... I got in touch (through a friend) with someone from iHeart Media who could get me a pass to shoot on their behalf, but are requiring a photo agreement.
I've heard horror stories about the way the music industry cares for photographers, and just wanted to get your opinion on the contract. I'm still waiting to hear back what they are going to pay me, and a few other questions, but I'd like to hear your preliminary thoughts.
And no "talk to a lawyer" comments, please. I'm not too worried about the legal side of things - it's all clear to me. I just want to know your opinion on the contract terms, and any advice you may have.
