I am a retired professional Photographer with over 30 years under my belt.
We did a job for Colgate-Parmolve with a studio shoot of Colgate toothpaste using a pretty female model. We did the shoot, paid the model & sent in the invoice. We were paid and that was that...........Then one day we discovered our studio shot appeared in magazines all over the world. They airbrushed the image to change the toothpaste box in the models hand into 80 plus languages but keeping the original image. We could have shot that model holding 80 odd boxes of Colgate toothpaste in Arabic to Zulu however it was not to be and we got screwed. True story.
Ps We also shot 1000's of weddings (on film) however nothing under $1500 plus album. We were booked 2 years in advance........Digital killed us in the end.
