Even in the case of the Photographer working to concepts or layout, the final image/s shall be considered to be the Photographer’s interpretation. The ‘Photographs’ means an image on any photographic material furnished by the Photographer, whether negatives, transparencies, prints or any other type of physical or electronic material. “Creative Fee” includes first use of photographs and is referred to as Base Usage Rate (BUR).
