Hey Mr Dinky....
I like your advice.
It's a complicated situation. We don't wanna lose the client, annoy the photographer (and lose him) or provoke the model. The photo of the 'model' was taken by said camerman after he approached him on the beach. "here, mate, can you hold this surfboard for a photo for this beer company..."
Obviously, if we had known how it was going to be used we would have taken measures by informing the photographer and the 'model ' of where the photo would end up. As this was going to be shown to a small audience (internal company promotion) we deemed it unrealisitic to charge the client goig rates and billed him accordingly.
So the client didn't just 'buy' the pix from us and all their rights. He lured us into thinking this is a low-key project then pushes it out nationwide.
I blame the client.
Question is. What do we do about it? We got a model who wants answers and a photographer who thinks he's hit the bigtime!
And we're in the middle thinking everyone has got it wrong...
We're happy. We got paid.
