JFJ Images

I was watching a podcast today by a concert photographer. The subject was releases for photographers to shoot events, and the restrictions. Most will want you to sign your rights away which keeps you from using them for future use, selling to outlets, ur personal portfolio etc. So basically you shoot this event and thats that...you have no control of your work from there. He said "Look. Painters sit in a studio for hours upon hours painting a masterpiece for free. They dont get paid for that time. The only way they get paid is if they sell their work. Though photographers get a paycheck for the event, its definitely not much. And most photographers wanna make a living at it full time which means, its also your retirement plan. You have to be able to sell your work. Dont sign a contract that doesnt allow it no matter how much of a bucket list opportunity it is.". Hes exactly right.

Back to the artistic side of things.
