Thanks for that Arcanist. The model releases for publication hadn't even crossed my mind. I would think being at the seminar, they could say the attendees gave over any rights the minute they walked in the door- it was video-ed in it's entirety and posted on the company intranet, and we were reminded of that fact daily. the "idol" I would assume would be a different story.

I can sympathize with your situation Andi. Like yourself and others, I was the unofficial, official company photographer and historian for a software startup for 6 years. I did enjoy it and never felt obligated when asked. And if you've ever seen any of my work, you'll see I do A LOT of post-processing - distorting, adding funny captions, putting mustache on the VP (she was not pleased). But I also took advantage and made them buy me some digital cameras to work with.
My bottom line advice: Communicate your concerns and issues with your boss and give him the photos under the conditions most of the more experienced folks above have suggested, and leverage your talent to at least get them to buy you some new lenses or something! :)
Good luck with it. Keep us informed.

I would give him a copy with a big fat watermark across all of them!
PS - Glad Sage isn't your boss (or mine)!!

Put them on a secluded part of your website, a watermark wouldn’t look out of place there, and give him the link. Say your disk drive is damaged or something.

Unless you can afford to quit your job and burn this bridge behind you, I would suggest that it is a wise career move to aviod causing a fuss about giving him the pictures. You might make a point of mentioning that you used your personal resources (camera and computer) for this and that it really is not something that is part of your job.
You can offer to do this kind of thing in the future and explore what compensation you can get out of it. If he seems reluctant to explore this option, next time simply don't bring your camera, or bring a small PnS.
Regardless of all the indignation about the poor photographer being explioted by the system, the fact is that it's much better for all concerned to sort these things out ahead of time. I highly suggest that you do so next time. |
