You got that right.gooseberry said:Much of it can be said of other job lines. The IT industry is a case in point.
SniperD said:you try that at our local ad agencies and you get the door slam in your face and the tingle of electricity will zap your name off their boards...
they only believe that Foreign photogs are worth that much, local photogs (unless you are damn well known) can stand aside....
sad....
SniperD said:yeah.. but the main thing is that if you try that on a client (after all, clients usually call the photogs up) say.. "ohh.... let's see, how about SGD$9'000 a day for the shoot?"
*note: i din use SGD10,000 coz 9'000 looks daudting enuf.
You see what the client say.... unless you are talking about a really established agency or client that deals with such photography deals before... you can forget about the response and hear the hung-up dial tone next.
ALL Photogs MUST retain full copyrights of their images, and it is especially the case here in singapore as the line is very thin & blur.oeyvind said:think you missing the whole pt here.... read again, don't be too hard up abt the monetary numbers, read the whole thing CAREFULLY not in between the lines.

photogs shd only assign limited rights of use in the selected media only, and not to be used elsewhere. pricing is accordingly to the type of media used.
i was a newbie in photography biz b4 and sold my rights very low, which means my original negs were given to the client. regretted.... :cry:

oeyvind said:yes... if it;s stated so it means you transfered the rights, but then the AOH competition for entry you only submit all size images, not much usage other than web.
Zplus said:Yup! You gave up the rights by taking part. So they can use it on their publications etc etc... If you win, the reward is the Award and the prizes...
AngKuGuay said:Humour me on this okay? But how do I achieve 'fame' other than takng part in such competitions? But by joining such competitions means I no longer have rights to it, then what now?
hehe
