Nike was a huge client of mine in the 90’s and I shot about 1.2 million shoes for them (really rough guess), actually I just shot a lot of shoes until they opened their own in-house studio. Usage fees, at least while I was working for them, would not be considered in any form no matter what. I am not saying this is official policy, it is more that the photo director was looking for the best price. I am not talking about their ad campaigns shot through their ad agency, rather working client direct. The photo production line of shooting shoes. If I wanted the work, the images were theirs.The content you are trying to access is only available to members. Sorry.
