So a company hired me to take pictures of an event for their website. I said yes and quoted them a figure. I did the event. I met an irate women from the local newspaper who got me to do some shots for free for her page. That was my mistake and I tried to explain to her about licensing but she just didn't get it. I figured in the interest of future work I'd just give them those images. Sized down a bit of course. Now they've come back to me and they want the hi-res images just so they have them and they want to produce a canvas print for their office with them on.
I'm tempted to reply with;
"I'm afraid I can't give you copies of the hi-res versions as that is essentially a royalty free license to use the images in anyway you see fit. You hired me to shoot the photos for the site and thats the license we've agreed upon. I'm sure we can come to some arrangement with regards to the canvas print. "
Everytime i deal with this company theres problems. I just know if they don't agree they'll just go and try to screw over some other photographer. Does this seem like the right thing to do?
