Jan 10, 2012 15:59 | #1 I was contacted on behalf of a guitarist I did some live photos of. They want a high res of one of the photos to use for the 8x10s at their NAMM signing. I'm new so I was thinking to allow and just require a photo credit. Is there anything else I should consider or am overlooking? THanks!

Do you give photos to your family for free (I assume you do). If so then you already have experience working for free and doing it with this person will not provide you with any experience or benefits you haven't already had. This guy is, or wants to be, paid for his creative work. No reason why you shouldn't too. Dan Marchant

That's actually a legitimate request if the guitarist plays or can play appropriate music and doesn't want to hand over actual cash. Did you lose Digital Photo Professional (DPP)? Get it here

Nobody where I live takes photo credits for payment of anything. Tim

If they say "no, we can't do that" I'm going to reply "oh so you admit it's worthless then?" Did you lose Digital Photo Professional (DPP)? Get it here

Jan 11, 2012 11:12 | #13 I was asked to do pre-show backstage photography for our local performance of Rocky Horror Picture Show this past October, because I'm friends with several of the cast members. When I asked if they could get show tickets for me and my wife, the show organizer said "Sorry, we're all out of complimentary tickets" to which I replied, "Oh, then I guess I'm all out of complimentary photography services too." http://www.avidchick.com

Jan 12, 2012 11:41 | #15 Thanks everyone for the replies! As expected there was no budget for the photo. But I did manage 2 passes to the NAMM trade show. A lot of this got me thinking in anticipation for future inquiries. I appreciate your advices.
