Kindle-contract for photos

7 replies
What sort of contract can be written up officially that will give me permission, when signed, to use their photo without paying them royalties, for free if I give them credit in the ebook?

    One that states exactly that signed by you and the person who the photograph belongs to.

      Does that make it legal?

        AS long as you get a signed document of consent from the owner, and they understand that you will be using their images, then it may be okay. Just be sure to cover all of your bases.

        However if you can avoid it completely, and just buy the image rights outright then that would be ideal. I use: photodune.net

        It rocks.

    If you both freely agree to it and the terms aren't unjustly unfair to one of you, then yea, it's pretty much legal.

    If the picture has a person in it make sure there is a model release for each person.
