5 out of 5 stars A resource that helps photographers price and control their work   July 9, 2006
Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA)
12 out of 12 found this review helpful

Photography pursuits blend well with business in Licensing Photography, a resource that helps photographers price and control their work. With all the photography books on the market, surprisingly few address the issues of licensing as a way of making or managing works. Here a veteran photographer and an intellectual property attorney team up to examine the issues, explain how licensing photography works, and survey related issues from copyright protection and identifying infringements to release forms, agreements and negotiating tactics for both print and online media.

While there is absolutely NO substitute for a good lawyer, this book offers sound legal advice, detailed sample contracts, and so much more. I am so glad I purchased this book!

As the internet changes how images are viewed and sold world-wide this book provides in depth coverage of all aspects of licensing photography.

From writing the license to distributing images, nothing is left uncovered.

I would recommend this book to any professional photographer.

Remember, without registering your images with the Copyright Office you will at best struggle.

5 out of 5 stars Must buy for business photographers   October 19, 2009

It's a straight forward book that gets to the point...licensing your photos for $$$$. After all, if you want to make photography a (profitable) business, this is a very helpful business survival tool.

Would highly recommend this to those photographers interested in:

- Making some money from your photos (hopefully a big profit)
- Maintaining your rights to your photos
- Avoiding most any legal licensing rights issues

Enjoy the book!!

For those considering photography as a business as well as beginning to sell their photographs or prints.
This book offers a lot of real life considerations with examples that will help new or budding photographers realize what they may be "giving away."
While it won't answer all questions about licensing you definitely will be aware that a consult with a visual arts attorney would be beneficial.
