Comment: "interesting debate. i've put "photographic" in brackets for the glossary reference just in case someone needs to make that distinction in the future. but i don't think it was necessary here."

I think you Paul will need to decide which translation suits best. Often, when working closely with clients I make the English more precise or clearer than the Italian (with their agreement) to communicate the message that works best for the client.

: upon further reflection (see my note), I think you are right to avoid any ambiguity by using 'photograph'. Maybe 'assignment of photographic image rights'.
