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?

My experience comes from the days of film so it may or not apply. It is normal if you are willing to accept the assignment and there isn't really any reason not to. Back in the day, we had a commercial client that wanted all of the film we generated. The assignments were a fee plus film costs and things like helicopters and we (made sure we) generated a ton. We strip developed it and gave them the rolls - the good the bad the ugly. The bigger the pile of film that happier they were. Of course each assignment was priced accordingly.
