I have a copyright transfer agreement with my publisher, my agency or my client

News photographs, press cartoons, comic strips, graphic creations... when work is commissioned by a publisher or a client, the contract covers both the conditions of production of the work and the transfer of reproduction and/or use rights. 

This makes it possible to define the conditions under which the works thus created may be reproduced, distributed, published, etc.
