Hi there
We've designed and produced many promotional posters for a retail outlet for 8 years or so now.
We've hired photographers and directed shoots. We've retouched many pics for use.
The client has been very honorable in the past and paid on time, every time.
For whatever reason (maybe price, but we are sure it's not a service/quality of work issue), the client has decided to 'go elsewhere' .
They are requesting we supply all the photography.
We don't want to fallout with the client, but it's really tough to keep cool whilst handing over work we have done, only for someone else to use re-purpose.
We have over the years encountered this on a couple of occasions and have given in under the theory 'never burn your bridges'. (Don't fall out cos they may come back at some stage).
We just wondered what you, the good people on here thought about this issue, as we are sure it's a common problem.
BTW: No T&C's or agreements where set.
What do you think?
Thank you
Peter
