Friend to use photo for commercial purposes?

[sbels]

I am a recreational pilot... not registered for commercial use.

If I take a photo and share it with a friend (a real-estate agent), is there any issue with her using it for her business? I’ve got some great shots of a new development going up and she can benefit from the photos by stirring up business online. I would not personally profit in any way.

Any issue with this?

What matters is your intent when you made the flight.

If you flew for hobby/recreation and captured a picture that someone later has some commercial interest in, then you would be fine.
If you are specifically taking the pictures for your friend to use in her business, then that is considered commercial.

Whether or not you get paid is irrelevant.

It that case take the money.
