legal - How do I make sure I keep rights to photos I take for a band ...

You can and must copyright your photos to keep any rights. You simply put a copyright message on them. You can periodically submit a batch of your photos to the Library of Congress to "register" your copyright.

But copyright does not address the terms of use, and that is your prime concern. Write up an agreement where you keep the copyright on all the images, and license the rights to use the photos for specific usages over a specific time frame. List the acceptable usages. Make it non-transferable. Of course, legal advise given for free on the internet is not worth much, IANAL, etc. So if you really want protection, talk to a local lawyer.

You can set the price of the usage agreement to anything you want. Usually its best to charge a nominal fee, say $10. Or even a couple of beers. You can even write that they agree to pay you $10, and you never remember to collect it.
