An almost identical situation happened to me with an NCAA team. It was pretty shocking but when I went to them hoping to work it out in good faith, they responded positively and ended up making a great situation out of it.

Photographers have to keep their eyes open to where their work is floating around at.

The main reason I do a lot of work for free is I'm not sure what I have to do to protect my work. Its more or less a hobby of mine right now, so its no big deal for now. That and Phobia is cheap...


I hope they cough the dough up and don't take the pics down. They are one of my favorite parts in the new Arrowhead. Its nice to see all those memories in giant form.

To me it is all about value. But that comes in many forms. There are a million variables that comes into pricing photography but at the end of the day my photography services come in at *about* $150\hr for event type stuff.

But licensing is a different game. That is why for a business a picture doesn't (at least it shouldn't) have one price. If I sell the ability to use one of my photos to a local coffee shop for $100 and then sell the same to WalMart that won't make sense. Even though it is the same photo WalMart is gonna be able to put it in every single one of those stores getting value on it until the sun comes up. So it is all about end usage.

A lot of photographers work really hard to lock up their photos...and while I take some precautions I have pretty much accepted that in this day and age images are going to be out there in the wild. If they are floating around I try and make it easy for people to link back to me so I can get some value from that...like if they are posted in a forum or something. If they are used commercially I just go to that entity and say "hey, I see you used my photo without permission. surely there is some way we can work this out so I get value back from the value you are getting on my photo." Instead of just lawyering up and being mad dickish. It has worked out pretty well. The example I talked about earlier ended up netting me more work even.

you would think they would want their work noticed, I don't know though.

Of course he would like his work noticed, so that he can get a gig with a big money client and then get compensated when they decorate their nfl stadium with his work.

Of course you want your work noticed. But you also want value you back for all the value the Chiefs get by using his imagery all over the place.

Obviously they liked it enough to to decorate their new stadium. There is value in that and he should be fairly compensated.

true, but I always imagine the artsy fartsy types who love photography to not really care about being compensated for their work but just happy enough that people are enjoying it.

This isn't that type of photography/photographer.
