Photos in exchange for name credit. Would you take it?
#1

I received an email today about a job offer for a photo shoot. Thing is, the offer was photos in exchange for credit (and possible jobs in the future).

I've had similar offers in the past and I always try to be polite. I always use a variation of this script. "Hi, thanks for your interest in my photography. I am honored. Unfortunately, the value of the photographs I will be creating for you requires more than credit since I will incur costs creating the shots. How about if I get your premiere page ad space in your (magazine, blog, website) for a year, in exchange for the photos. That will sound like a fair deal don't you think?". I usually get no replies after that Smile

Do you have similar experiences? Have you exchanged photos for just name credit before?

True, except these people think giving credit is gold. Disappointing.
