Hockley Thu, 28 May 2009 06:41:04 +0000 http://www.enlightphoto.com/views/?p=558#comment-14111 My rule is simple: I don't work for free for any sort of commercial venture. Occasionally I will donate time or services to a nonprofit organization but if it's a commercial outfit that's asking for my services or products, I'll ask for compensation. I have never seen a photo byline in a magazine lead to any real future work. My rule is simple: I don’t work for free for any sort of commercial venture.
