| I'd just let them use the picture and get a copy of the mag for portfolio. But most zoos take charitable donations. So consider donating the picture and write off what you would have made as a charitable donation. |

You could, but it would be illegal.
"Before 1969 artists, composers and writers could donate self-generated works to a non-profit institution and receive a fair-market-value deduction. Subsequent to 1969, as part of broad tax reform, we can deduct only the cost of materials.
Currently, artists making a charitable contribution to a museum or cultural institution are only allowed to deduct the cost of their raw materials instead of the fair market value of the art donated. This creates a huge incentive for an artist to wait until after they die to donate something to a museum, because it's valued at fair market value in their estate, but if they donate while alive, they get only a deduction for the costs of their materials." |

Well, never mind then. |

I had a San Diego Zoo membership for years, spun off an image I shot that they wanted. They just kept renewing every year, I was in some sort of category I guess. I think I got 7 years out of the one image I gave them for their ZooNooz magazine before someone woke up and started trimming out the deadwood :-)
One thing that's worth mentioning; I don't know if this is typical or not, but the San Diego Zoo has conditions on their tickets (and their memberships) that include a very specific prohibition against commercial usage of images shot on their premises -- if you want to use a shot from the zoo in your ad, you need to negotiate with both the zoo and the photographer.

Thanks everyone for all the great advice. After few emails back and forth
1) its a non-profit they do not pay
2) I will give them a contract - stating one time use for magazine cover, any other use will require my permission and renegotiation of contract.
3) they will credit me for the photograph
3) I will get few copies of magazine and some bragging rights :)
I am already a member so I didn't ask for that, well next cover for that ;) |
