The author declined these terms. You see, she plans to use hundreds of
photographs, and clearly it would be too expensive to agree to such
terms.
(Since the author is seeking permission from the subjects, rather than
the photographers, I'm sure the book will be full of photographs that
she doesn't have the right to publish.)
This is rather like the claim many of us have doubtless heard from people
who don't want to pay upfront for quality software (or any other product you
care to name). They end up paying more to retrofit the quality later.
I wonder how expensive a copyright suit would be, if only one of those
photographers whose copyright she might infringe were to sue.
If the copyright is registered the infringer has to pay all of the costs.
