You are an experienced artist who has been hired by XYZ Investments, a hedge fund, to create twenty framed artistic photographs to decorate the walls of the company's new corporate headquarters. The contract between you and the XYZ Investments states that you will be paid $20,000 and that the twenty framed photos should be completed by the end of next month. You use your own equipment, choose when and where to shoot the photos, and are paid only when the work is completed. You create the framed photographs on time as the contract specifies. Months later, you decide to show your photographs at an exhibition, but XYZ Investments objects on the grounds that it owns the copyright to the photographs. Determine your employment status and apply it to whether you are the owner of the photographs.
