I recently posted on craigslist offering to photograph any events for free so as to build references and obtain images for my portfolio. I was contacted by a party that wanted me to cover a celebrity charity birthday event.

Everything seemed to be going smoothly until the person in charged asked that I shoot on THEIR cf cards so as to insure that they receive the images (they supposedly have had problems with photographers in the past). They then stated that i could pick up a dvd with the images a few days later.

My main concern is that after I give them their CF cards I am in a completely powerless position as they could simply decide to drop all communications with me afterwards and even worse, not credit me at all when using the images.

What can I do to ensure I don't get screwed?
