submission or contract forms

[mcsimard]

I work as a photojournalist for a local newspaper and a political figure I

interviewed hired me to cover as a photographer a private event. The work

consist of shooting the event from 7 to 8 pm, making sure every person there

has been photographed individually(there will be 25 guests), and a group shot.

The deputee will send each of them their picture in a 4x6 format.

I have to send an official submission or contract to his secretary; where can I

find example of generic forms for that kind of contract? I'm charging him $200

for covering the event, and I told him to expect to be charged around $125 for

25 small prints and one 8x12. That price includes my time spent processing the

images. Thanks for your help.

If you are a full time employee for a newspaper, you'd best be sure you may take pictures independently and that you'll own the rights to the images. Your fee seem a BIT low to me, but I guess it's enough if it's a small time event.

If you are employed full time as a shooter for a newspaper, you'd best be sure you may shoot independently and own the rights to your images. Your fees seem a bit low to me, but I guess their OK for a small operation.
