On the dole

I can now see why so many photographers are unemployed. This legal approach is fine in theory, but simply doesn't work in practice. It used to work when photography was still a mystical art, based on film. However, digital has demystified - and devalued - the average photographic job. With so many photographers chasing so little work, those who begin their client relationship with a plethora of legal speak will undoubtedly lose out to those who simply get on with the job - unless they have the standing of Mario Testino.and his ilk. I wish it wasn't that way, but that's the way it is, although I can see why it is in an agent's interests to pretend otherwise. .

Description

Description: To produce & provide (X number of) images of (whatever it is they have asked you to shoot) at (the name of the location or event).

Because the fee is for the 'use of your images', it's not for 'your time' i.e. For 1/2 day photography on location.

I would also suggest you provide your client with a 'Licence to use' form, whenever possible...

.. to avoid misunderstandings down the road.
