Thank you David for your perspective from the other side of this. I think going forward with this project, I will take that approach of having all involved share the cost.

Thanks for your response Charles. The designers do not have exclusive rights nor did I transfer the copyright. Builder will use the phots for promotional purposes: his website, Houzz site, Instagram, print ads, etc. for unlimited time period. No editorial submissions. The other part of this equation is that we only shot half of the House due to the homeowners time constraints. We will go back for another shoot to do the rest of the rooms. The designer is hiring me for this, but the builder will also be interested in these additional shots. Should I continue as I am for the first half of the shoot charging the designer my regular fee and the builder per photo for usage? Or work out some other deal up front before the next shoot for some kind of shared fee? Thanks for any advice as I’ve never had to deal with this situation before. As a side note, I’ve worked with the builder before on his other homes so he is familiar with my regular shoot fees.

Hi All, I'm stumped on how to figure pricing for this particular situation. I shoot interiors for designers, builders, architects, etc. I recently completed a shoot for the designers of a renovation. The builder would now like to buy usage rights for those sots. The designer has not problems with it since they will be cross promoting each other. My normal pricing structure does not itemize out usage, and the shoot and finishing work were all paid for by the designer. I'm thinking I charge per image for usage but am not sure what that rate should be. Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks!
