Internet Scam Targets Photographers
If you expect to license your photos for commercial or promotional uses, you need releases: written permission from the people you are photographing, or who own the property you are photographing. Here is the what, why and how of these legal documents. ASMP members can also use our online, customizable release forms.
The Universal Photographic Digital Imaging Guidelines (UPDIG) working group has issued a set of workflow guidelines and best practices. The group looks for wide adoption within the photography community and the wider graphic arts industry.
The difference between a great image and a pretty-good image is, to paraphrase Mark Twain, like the difference between lightning and a lightning bug. You can improve your chances of getting a great image by working closely with a photographer who understands what you need and can bring experience and creativity to bear on solving your problems. Working With an Assignment Photographer explains how. It's part of our growing collection of resources for the photo buyer.
