I didn't see your earlier post until now. I don't think not turning in the good photos is a good solution. I think a better idea is to work to find clients who are willing to pay you fairly and allow you the rights to the images for resale. Unfortunately, the trend to day is all-rights buyout and photographers need to make some fundamental decisions about how they work, under what conditions and for what compensation. Best of luck! Vicky,

My husbands sollution was for me to not turn in my 'good' photos and just give them the okay ones, but really do I want my name on those in circulation. Plus I found one of their employees sending digital copies of my photos to at least one friend. What are my rights on that?
