I work with photography frequently. Most of the time I take my own photos. Sometimes people send me their photos. The end result, I edit the photos to match what I see in my head (an idea for the outcome) or what the "Client" wants. Most of the "work" I do is for individuals or couples in a "public" setting. However, I have an upcoming "wedding photo booth" event. Basically, it's a mock of the automated photo booths you find at the mall.
I am planning on making up a contract, but I need more information.
1) If I take the photo (with my equipment), who "owns" the photo?
2) If someone sends me a photo to "edit", who "owns" the edited work?
3) If a "Client" requests their images not to be displayed in my Gallery, do I have to follow that request? Or would it just be a courtesy on my part?
4) What are my rights as the photographer/editor of an image and what are their rights as the "Client" -- in both cases of the photo being taken by me and the photo being submitted by the Client.
