jasonphoto01 Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 I just did a shoot for a local business of some girls in a pageant. Well i was paid 500.00 for the gig which included a few images for the girls. Well they need a few images to publish in a local magazine. what is the normal charge for a 1 time reproduction? How much should I charge for each image? Im going to resize them and email them to her. I live in Louisiana if that makes a difference. thanx!

ellis_vener_photography Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 Can you be more clear about who wants to use the photos? Your original client? One of the girls? The magazine? someone else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasonphoto01 Posted March 17, 2004 Author Share Posted March 17, 2004 its images of the winner of the pageant. The client asked me for them so she could have them placed in a local magazine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason neymeyer Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 If you find out what magazine it is perhaps going here: <P> <A HREF="http://www.editorialphoto.com/contracts/estimator.html">http://www.editorialphoto.com/contracts/estimator.html</A> <P> You can plug in circulation numbers and find out what the average going rate is for that size publication. Of course this would be what the magazine would pay, your particular situtation may be different, still, it's a good website to bookmark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellis_vener_photography Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 As a working pro with 20+ years experience (not a wannabe), my advice is; if she isn't going to run them in an ad that she did not hire you to shoot for, but instead the magazine is just running a story on the pagent: just let them have the shots but make sure you get a photo credit.

mg Posted March 20, 2004 Share Posted March 20, 2004 I have no idea how to answer your original question, nor any question regarding billings in U.S. But I'll just take this opportunity to say that imho, it is umportant to take into consideration WHERE we are from, when posting regarding pricing in this new (and great) business forum. For example, what Ellis just wrote may well be valid for U.S.A, but only partly for western Europe, and absolutely not in Malaysia. I know, nobody cares about Malaysia, but I just thought I'd throw in a general reminder about the fact that prices and business habits are different everywhere. Let's keep that in mind when posting. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucas_griego Posted April 5, 2004 Share Posted April 5, 2004 Jason, Like Ellis said - if she's not running an ad - or as long as it's not a 'payed for advertorial' then just float her a shot or two with a small written agreement that you 'must' get a byline/photo credit-copyright line. You then can use this as a tear-sheet for your book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
