Hello!
I'm new here and would like to have some help if you can. Over the years I have been taking photographs of wildlife from flowers to animals. I also have taken hundreds of events with family members and the public.
Recently, I have been taking more and more pictures of wildflowers, and, I would like to sell the file itself if that is possible. Seems like a funny question to ask as a person should be able to make up their mind of what they can and can't sell, but, this is different for me. With the purchase of a file, I will be giving up the entire rights to it. To me this would be whomever purchases the file would be given all rights to it, as it was taken by the purchaser themselves. The buyer would be able to use it in any form necessary including business reasons like re-sale.
I am just wondering if this is a business to go into and, if it is legal to do so.
My other question is if it is legal, what should I charge for my files? Once I give one up I could have used it myself for product like greeting cards, wall photos, canvas prints, etc. If a corporation or small business were to purchase a file, then they would have the profit from it 100%.
Thank you so much in advance! This website is teaching me a lot so far and I can’t wait to take more photographs!
