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?

Depends on which country you're in as different laws apply.

I'm in the UK and *very* infrequently get asked to hand over copyright.

Normally when I explain that the price covers any use at all, (except for resale) they settle for that.

Same in Finland, i charge hourly with a little premium and give rights for really wide use same as you.
