Hi, I'm completely new to selling stock photos and really need help to find information on the specifics!
I recently sold my first set of images as stock. The purchaser/blogger wanted them to be exclusive instead of semi-exclusive. The images were of a craft item I had made myself. I've been told by a couple of people that I can NOT make that craft item again and take new images to sell because I already sold them exclusively..... BUT, what if I create NEW images of the craft item, in different colours? Is this allowed?
After all, I am selling the licencing to use my images not the craft item, correct?
So new images with the craft item a different colour would not be the same as the images previously licenced - Maybe similar to someone licencing a photo of a red shoe, then the photographer takes another image of a blue shoe and can then licence the blue shoe separately since it is a new photo and although it is a shoe, it is a different image and colour to the red shoe image...? 😅
