HELP! I need a price for photos in a brochure.

[john_mcneely]

I am meeting with someone tomorrow who owns a small shop in town.

He is interested in a 8 1/2 x 9" brochure I put together for his

shop. I imported photos from color transparencies using Adobe

Photoshop.

 

The brochure consists only of text and my own color photos that I

took in his shop. He can choose from over 20 photos. They will be

about 3 1/2 inches by 2 inches in the brochure. About four will fit

inside and one on the front. The brochure will be a bi-fold.

 

My question is how much should I charge per photo? I have no idea

how many brochures he will want. Would the price per photo go up or

down depending on how many he wants printed?

 

Putting the brochure together with text was a no-brainer, so it is

obvious to me the photography is what I am charging for. But how

much?

 

I plan to have a printing shop do the printing, cutting, folding,

and those charges to the fee.

 

Any help is really appreciated.

 

Thanks

...and you have 'no idea' of how much a color-printing job will cost.

 

 

 

 

If you are not up on the 'expenses' portion of your brochure, it is a bit late to ask for 'how much to charge.' Each part of the U.S. has different rates for printing, paper stock, color prep work if needed, and some areas have 'union' rates that are high.

 

 

 

 

Next job, a little more research on your part is needed -- then go out and sell the brochure or post card or whatever.

 

 

 

 

 

You can do a web search for 'color printing' and see what some of the brochure prices run...

Gerald, I don't think John asked how much the printing would cost. He's asking how much he should charge for the photos.

[john_mcneely]

Don is right.

I am only asking how much to charge for the photography. I am going to just add the printing costs to the total.

 

Does anyone have any idea how much color photography in brochures is worth? This really is great photography, and some was done in a studio with a macro lens.

 

The color photos will only be about 3.5" x 2.2" inches or so, but if someone uses about 5 photos like that and prints out 1000 brochures...what would the photography be worth?

 

I'd like to add that I will put my name down on the bottom of the brochure so at least im getting some advertising out of it.

Thanks,

JOHN

If you scroll to the "Pricing" section of my

<a href = "http://terragalleria.com/stock-photography.html">stock photography page</a>, you will find links to a couple of pricing

tables. I also advice to open an account on Getty Images and Alamy, which will allow you to see their pricing tables.
