I am looking into expanding my architecture portfolio shooting restaurants, clubs, buildings... I'll need to get permission from the owners and get a property release. I am thinking of giving them non-exclusive limited rights to my images for a period of one year. Is that a fair trade? Are they likely to go for it? Am I giving myself away? Any input would be appreciated.
Also if anyone knows any amazing looking architecture within a 6hr drive, please let me know!!
I am wondering about the Photobiz and Photoquote software. Is it worth buying? The Photobiz software claims to quicken and organize the photographer's workflow. Does Photoquote help out photographers that don't shoot stock?

Hi Greg,
This is a question for Maria. It sounds like something I would do/offer so you are probably giving it away.
What types of buildings, commercial or residential or both?
good luck!!
Melinda
It could be either Melinda.
i think we answered the question in class, probably non-exclusive/limited.It is the non-exclusive part that is important because that allows you the resale of the images (once you have the property release)
fotobiz/fotoquote has modules for both assignment and stock and is pretty highly regarded among the photogs i interview and meet at workshops.
Here is the latest update from them:
Dear Maria,
After the positive feedback from our Focus Your BIZ #2 issue on websites by Grover Sanschagrin we'd like to follow up with a timely Focus Your BIZ submission by Rohn Engh.
Rohn became a friend shortly after I read his book, "Sell and Resell Your Photos" in the early 80's. Rohn's basic formula has always started with the advice to shoot what you know and you'll make your best pictures of what excites you.
It's good advice, the content of your photos will be fresher and stronger, and when you follow Rohn's advice, below, to lure buyers to your web site, you'll have the depth of coverage on your subject to make it worth their time to return to your site again and again.
We appreciate any feedback. Contact us if you'd like to be a guest writer for "Focus Your BIZ". Our goal is to help you succeed in your photo business... and enjoy the process.
Thank you again, and good luck.
