You are correct. As production manager of a large ad agency who, among many other things, negotiates usage rights with photographers, I'll note this: The ad agency is making money from use of the photograph. The advertiser is making money from use of the photograph. And, unless he has waived his rights in writing, the photographer should expect to share in the money being made from use of his photograph. And I am continually amazed at the number of advertisers and ad agencies which fail to grasp this. Larry
