    It can therefore be considered that you were NOT paid for doing the photography, since you were not paid overtime wages, despite the free dinner, which may not even have been a gift or compensation, if it was required under labour laws. On that basis you as the first owner of copyright to your photos, would retain those rights and could therefore use those photos in any way, you see fit.

    "I was not trying to be shocking, or to be a pioneer.
    I wasn't trying to change society, or to be ahead of my time.
    I didn't think of myself as liberated, and I don't believe that I did anything important.
    I was just myself. I didn't know any other way to be, or any other way to live."
