  • Such a good design podcast

    I’ve loved learning from both of these women, it’s such an insightful, truly educational podcast but still light and fun. There aren’t nearly enough thoughtful conversations in the interior design space, and this one absolutely delivers. I’ll definitely be tuning in every week!!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Inside the Photoshoot: Hiring a Photographer with Isabel Parra
Q: When a magazine commissions a shoot, who is the client and who controls the rights?
When magazines commission shoots, they are often the client and control the licensing; designers and photographers still collaborate, but the magazine pays and owns the rights for publication, whereas the photographer and designer typically handle other rights for promotional use.
Inside the Photoshoot: Hiring a Photographer with Isabel Parra
Q: What should designers know about photography rights and licensing when working with photographers?
Licensing is typically separate from the shoot; designers usually have rights to use the photography for marketing, but third parties, books, magazines, or publishers may require additional permissions or licensing. It's best to discuss licensing up front and involve the photographer or licensing agent to handle permissions and costs.
