It is pretty cheap to outsource these days. You should not have to buy
scanners, maintain and clean the equipment, hire staff, waste your own
valuable time, be accountable for bad scans discovered at a later date and
the learning curve. Not to mention equipment gets out dated and parts
become unavailable forcing you to buy new equipment. Let me know if you
would like a sample done of your documents.

As the photographer are you then permitted to do anything you want with the
photos? Seems like the client who has hired you for taking pictures should
have some control over the disposition of photos and negatives...

Bill R says: Here in North Dakota we have photographers who have worked
for years for
our tourism and game and fish departments. The State claims right of
use of their photographs (and other work product) by virtue of their
employment. But use by any other party is only with the individual's
permission and/or compensation.
Unless there is a prior claim, copyrights belong to the individual who
creates the document, not the company they work for, not to the
government.
Absolutely. I have to agree with Bill on this. As a photographer in
Canada, I have a copyright on my wedding photographs. The client hires me
for my expertise with equipment, ability to pose and provide a flow to the
wedding. The film is mine, as is the rights and images associated with
them. Legally, if a client takes my images and copies/scans them, I have
the right to sue as the copyright belongs to me.
Similarly, if an artist paints a picture, you could not take the original
or a copy and reproduce it without the artists approval.
