When Publishers Request Freebies >> Naturography

Publishers have developed a bad habit of begging, over the last few years. They’ve taken to contacting photographers, seeking to use their pictures without paying. It’s not just the underfunded start ups, or those tottering on the edge of bankruptcy. In this environment of global financial crisis and increasingly commoditized photography, many of the biggest newspapers, magazines, and book publishers, regularly request freebies from photographers. If you’re a good photographer, and your work is online, then you’ll probably receive such requests soon (if you haven’t, already).
