"Email reply to a request for free use of images"
(Email reply stating that I'm not able to provide images for free usage.)
As a photographer, one of the most frustrating things you can hear is someone asking you to use your images for free. After all, photography is your livelihood, and you have spent countless hours perfecting your craft and building your portfolio. It can be disheartening when someone expects you to give away your hard-earned work without compensation.
So what can you do when someone asks you to use your images for free? First, it's important to be polite and professional in your response. You can politely explain that you are a professional photographer and that you need to be compensated for your work. You can offer to discuss the terms of a licensing agreement if the person is still interested in using your images. But remember that as a professional photographer, you deserve to be compensated for your work. Don't be afraid to stand up for yourself and your craft, and always remember that your images have value.
