Work for Hire and Self-Promotion Limits

Q:

I have received a lot of “work for hire” requests this year, giving me no rights to self-promote the images. I wonder if it’s AI-related from legal teams.

A:

Work for hire and not being able to show images from certain types of clients have been around for quite a while. It may happen more nowadays because of AI-related requests, but overall, it’s a topic that should affect your fees. The more usage they are asking for, the higher your rates.
