Question about Content Rights..

Is there a generic form I can use to have the photographer sign over the rights to pictures and videos they shot for me?

I am paying for him to photo and video and I want 100% control over the content.

Thanks

Just write that on a piece of paper and have him sign it.

You are looking for a "work for hire" agreement.

Be aware that there are very strict rules as to what activities can be considered as work for hire with respect to copyright. See:

www . copyright . gov / circs/circ09.pdf

the work must come within one of the nine limited categories of works listed in the definition above, namely (1) a contribution to a collective work, (2) a part of a motion picture or other audiovisual work, (3) a translation, (4) a supplementary work, (5) a compilation, (6) an instructional text, (7) a test, (8) answer material for a test, (9) an atlas;

the work must be specially ordered or commissioned;there must be a written agreement between the parties specifying that the work is a work made for hire by use of the phrase "work for hire" or "work made for hire."
