Pro Tip:
Licensing has been a HOT topic in the FB group lately! So tell me, do you have a part of your workflow that specifically covers licensing and usage with your client?
You'll want to make sure that you have several ways to touch on the topic. Here's what I do:
- When first chatting with a new client, I use the topic of cost-sharing to lead into licensing. This helps make sure they know what licensing is and why cost-sharing is necessary when other parties are involved.
- I have a section in my agreements that spells out usage, with the important/key part in bold.
- When booking for a new shoot, I always ask "Will anyone else need to use these photos and cost-sharing with you?"
- I stay open to conversations about licensing and usage with my clients or third parties. Remember that often, people don't realize they're infringing - it usually boils down to a lack of education.
So I'll ask again - do you have a part of your workflow that specifically covers licensing and usage with your client? |
