Hi Hanan! A lot of good answers here, but I will give you an expanded answer later. I have been in my business for over 13 years and have never been stuck ever. There was one time the client in Malibu was reneging on a $1300. invoice. I'm based in Philadelphia. I said, I feel a stock photography shoot coming on and I've never been to Malibu. I said I'd be out in the next several weeks, no specific date, and that I would stop by and pick up a check when I'm in town. He knew I had his home address, because that's where I sent the images. I had the check in four days.

BUT IT'S EASIER THAN THAT! YOU OWN THE COPYRIGHT, Period. My invoice has the following statement add it to yours and your contracts if you use them. It simply states, "License and use of all images delivered is granted with this invoice being paid in full". Lovin' the copyright. Here's how it works. Anywhere you see your images being used contact the host, not the client. Web company hosting their website, Yelp, Linkedin, Facebook, any media. Most can be contacted online with a report button. Say, I am the copyright holder and I own these images. The person posting does not have license to use these images and I request these are all pulled down off this site. I have had images pulled down with this notification in 3 hours of notification. I had a website host balk at my request saying they needed approval from their client. I said "NO" I own the images and if they are not removed within 24 hours my copyright attorney will contact you and he LOVES getting paid. The web host removed them all. (unlicensed/unlawful use of copyright images can result in a judgement penalty of $10,000 per image, per day of use, I believe I read on a copyright site). That should get someones attention.

More later.
