I absolutely agree with Dennis - - with a few additional comments. Rizzoli Publishing is a huge publisher in Italy and around the world. That said, They should be asked questions regarding rights, contracts, payments and ownership of said photos. There should absolutely be a contract that states that usage is for one time only in Europe/NAmerica or where ever. There are standard payment scales and contracts for these things. The price goes up in relation to how many continents, lenght of use, how many publications or uses (posters? website?etc) If you have any questions about your rights as a photographer or an artist you should ask an attorney that is familiar with these sorts of contracts and international transactions. You can check Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts http://www.vlany.org/ I'm sure that much like the graphics industry there is probably a handbook of guidelines for this sort of thing.
Many references in a google search - they are connected to the Rizzoli Book store http://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=rizzoli+publishing +italy&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8 Best s On Feb 16, 2010, at 8:00 PM, Dennis Donohue wrote: > Everyone, > > As a bird, wildlife and stock photographer I would never send an > image to a magazine in the US or anywhere in the world unless I had > first discussed copyright, terms and received payment.
