A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Business event photographers - client asking to relinquish copyright - is this normal? (alien.top)

We will sing an NDA and they also asked to relinquish copyright. I'm talking with the event planner but to my understanding the client is a multinational company. Is this normal? What would you do?

Semi-normal with big companies and usually the pay takes it into account. They can’t be arsed trying to track down the owner of an image if they want to use it in another part of the world and want to reduce risk of you objecting to use somewhere down the line. Easier to just do a buyout. Build it into the fee. Some creative orgs (RSC for example) are getting backlash over it but still common with some corporates.
